The Australian Threepence // A Great Silver Coin For Collecting 

Great video, Yes I too hold the view the this set is a good set. I had a number of great coins. Then I sold them. Now back into coins. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it's advised to only use sterling silver coins for puddings. They're silver and copper. The 50% silver coins contain silver, copper and nickel. It's the nickel that can cause health issues. I was lucky enough to get a first-hand look at a 1922/21 (Rennicks, CAB magazine and the RAM list it that way, not 1921/22) overdate 3pence about 20 years ago. If i had had the funds, i would have bought it on the spot. When i was a kid, it was pronounced thripence. My grandparents called them "thrips" hence thripence.

Also, the 12 sided brass coin , we called a thrupenny bit’ . Many variations of names, I believe!!

Hi Matt, I have all the Threepences you could buy a LOT of lollies back in the day I'm a 52 baby and we got a Great return for our pocket money not these days. keep up the GREAT work TOP JOB Champ. cheers. Stephen.

Good to know about the 1921/22 over date threepence Matt! 👍

Thanks for the education 👌, growing up, I always heard them referred to as “a thrupence”!! Btw, we must have been rich, cuz gran used sixpences🤣. Thanks again,Matt🙋🏻‍♂

I have a 1943 with the S mint mark...

I'm working of a date run of The Australian Threepence I only need around 5 more to complete my date run...

3 Wheat stalks or 1 singular Wheat stalk, nice video

I should add "thruppence" or "thrupney bit" is the British pronunciation. The Australian pronunciation is thrippence or thripney or simply thrips as a plural. Yeah, i spent a lot of time with my grandparents when i was a kid.

Awesome video Matt :)

Another great educational video thanks matt ❤

That would be 3 'heads' of wheat

Where im for sell

I think it's a husk

Mum use to boil the living daylights out of the three pence and six pence coins prior to putting them into the pudding. Mum placed a value on them so a three pence may have been worth 10 cents and a six pence 20 cents. In that way the coins were returned and not taken. Here’s some trivia for you. I think it was in England but a young girl stopped talking not long after Christmas one year. Doctors said she was faking it but she never spoke again. Many many years later she had a fit of coughing and she coughed up a blood clot. Upon examination they found a coin in the middle of it and not long after she started to regain her speech. It’s thought she had gotten the coin from the Christmas pudding and it had lodged in her vocal cords and stopped her vocal cord from vibrating and over the years the body tried to fight it and covered the coin in what looked like a blood clot. My Mother use to count all the coins going into the pudding and all those collected. No one ever swallowed one or broke a tooth as we knew to be careful. That might be why I like the Wheat Sheath One Dollar coin. 😅

👍✌️💙🏇🏇🏇

Christmas pudding was the 925 sixpence, we all had a stir of the mix before cooking and if you got one in your bowl it was good luck.

Great video .The 21/22 was copied to no end..I had 2 unc 38 crowns Sold 1, WAY too cheap .Still have one. If I found a 21/22 with my detector I would be happy .I have dug up a 10 threepence..

I would describe the overdate as 1922/1.

Tough question on what the coin depicts, it could be 3 heads of wheat with a few inches of stem on them or it could be 3 stalks of wheat because it includes some stem on each head. I'd lean more to calling them heads, because as an agronomist if I asked someone to bring me 3 stalks of wheat and they cut them that short I'd be disapointed, while if I asked for 3 heads of wheat and they cut them that long I wouldn't care. Also a grain is just what we call seeds from cereal crops, like wheat barley and oats.

I just checked and while I do have some 1921 & 1922s in my collection, sadly none with both on the one coin. I did find a couple of 1910s though,

sir as I know PL mint mark in Australian coin stands for, Pecunia Londinii -money of London, Percussa Londinio-struck at London,thanks.

Thank you ! Love your videos. My family is learning a lot.

I think thats a wheat sheaf, 3 in that case

Very good presentation
