    I can't see about your coin anything that immediately jumps out at me and screams "fake," but I know very little about Great Britain coinage. I do, however, know enough about Draped Bust dollars to see that the OP's coin is clearly a fakeyea 

    Yea sure.None of you answered my question yet.Is it possible to check the coin if you don't have it in your hand

    I think you missed the point of my response. I am not arguing that the OP's coins are proof. They are not. I am also not arguing that a new collector has even the remotest chance of stumbling upon one. What I am arguing is that nonexistence and practical nonexistence are not the same things. These coins do exist; however, as you have already pointed out they are so rare that they have little practical existence in the hobby for the this coinaverage collector. You and I have the same opinion on this point, but an opinion is not fact. I am trying to make this abundantly clear for someone who might read this thread several years down the road. 

    You don`t understand anything guys.I am the last member of forgotten ?? familly.It`s impossible for you,or other people to know this coin.I am not new collector as you might think.I showed you uniqe example that you considering as a scrap.Designer did it perfectly. Hard work to look like this.Toning process isn`t finished yet, the dots change the colour at least 3 times.I`v got other coins with yellow or purple dots I watch the process since long time.I don`t understand the way of your thinking,if you see blue dots on reverse wchich is not considered as corrosion,you are saying that green dots on obverse it`s corrosion.Didn`t you think this is not coinsidence?

    There were no 1965 proofs, matte or otherwise. You have corrosion. Sorry. There were 1953 proofs, then not again until 1970.

    This specimen was lot 23090 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2018), where it sold for $660. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. 3 Pence, 1957. NGC PROOF-65. Struck in brass. A common coin that is RARE in proof. Deep bronze toning with hues of blue and purple.Are you sure there is no proofs after 1953?

    1957 British pre-decimal threepence, or "thruppence". It was demonetized at the time of decimalization in 1971. It was worth 1/80 of a pound sterling, or half a sixpence, or 1/4 of a shilling. So a little over a current penny. Plated, they make awesome cufflinks. I own a pair. If you can find a really nice 1959, that's the ugliest one in my set, and I'd buy it from you in a heartbeat.

    I have got 1940 1946 red dated 1945,1955,1957,1965
