: If you have a British 3d coin, it won't have a country on it.  

: From 1937 to 1945, Britain minted 3d pieces in both silver and nickel-brass. According to Clayton's, a major U.K. coin site, the silver pieces are fairly common in the early overlap years, but values increase in later years - up to £35 for a 1944 in EF, for ex.  To quote his explanation:

: "Although the silver threepence continued to circulate for some years (I recall receiving one in change in about 1959), and particularly in Scotland and the West Indies, it was last produced for circulation in the UK in 1941. Issues were made for the next three years for use in the West Indies, and are all relatively scarce, particularly the 1944 coin. Nearly 400,000 were minted in 1945, but the great majority were melted down - a very few, one or possibly two, have survived."

: The 1945 nickel-brass piece is still pretty common; he quotes a retail price of about £1 in EF.

: : : Iam looking for info on a 1945 three pence, have not been able to find out any info on this coin.
