I am a compleye novice as far as collecting old coins goes. I have in my possession a silver threepence from the Tudor dynasty dated 1562 with a portrait of Elizabeth 1st, left facing with the tudor rose behind her. Does anyone have any idea of its value , rarity or where I might find out more information on these coins ? Any information would be gratefully recieved.

[edit] Verification

I have a fair knowledge of coinage, and boast a rather large encyclopedia of the history of the British Mint. From what I have seen, the information is rather accurate, however I cannot really vouch for the Irish threepence. The only information I think may need changing is that the early Edward IV coins included a profile bust, not a front. I am not certain of this fact, so somebody may need to double check it.

[edit] Why not at Threepence?

Why is this article not at threepence (a redlink as of this writing)? Why the extra-long name, inconsistent with Wikipedia naming style (half crown, shilling, dollar)? --Quuxplusone 15:26, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:1953ThreePence.jpeg

Image:1953ThreePence.jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 00:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
