Ætheling Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I like both. I always liked the threepences just my kind of colour. The sovereign is gorgeous (i wouldn't have said that for a bog standard boring St George) but i really like the shield reverse ones in a big way.

geordie582 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Sorry! but I always thought the brass threepence was the most ugly coin you could imagine! Heavy, clunky, when you think of the old thruppeny dodger there's no comparison! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I thought the threenub was called a diddler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up north I always said Thruppeny dodger, I suppose because it always 'dodged' you when you were looking for it in your pocket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
