    Unwanted additional info: denominations sixpence through crown went to CuNi in 1947. Only maundy continued to made in silver after 1946 (in fact it went back to being sterling silver).

    Not Unwanted info at all.....Thanks

    I am working through an interesting project tonight. Putting some of my british coins in flips. I have a box of 100 or so british coins dating from the 1860s through present. Most of these were given to me when I was a kid so I think they were searched for silver and anything of value before they were given to me but still a fun little project.

    Thanks again for the info
