I don't go quite that far back (1921) ... but I do remember the threepence (pronounced 'throopence') from the pre-decimal days ... what a brilliant find, being that it goes right back to 1921 Very Happy

As a young kid, I could buy a threepenny bag of lollies on 'pocket money' day, and the contents would last me a week!! Very Happy

i found one on a digging 1858 and all i could think was this would have brought them the food and that, that needed and they had lost it... the other thing was going through my head was how hard they would have worked to earn it. it makes me think how easy we have it finding gold..
cheers

Hi Aussie,
If you found over-dated one you have struck gold.
They are more expensive than
