I have a 1967 thruppeny bit-but it's silver.No-one seems to have ever seen one before-they stopped making the silver ones in the 1940s apparently and the only ones since then are the Maundy ones.
It's twelve-sided with the portcullis on,and it looks silver throughout-not dipped or painted...Anyone else seen one?

Not me, but hopefully Joi will spot this. I know she's got some connections in the field.

Oddly enough, I currently work for a coin dealer! I'm not familiar with the coin, but I can check around. In the meantime, if you're on Facebook, look up some coin collecting groups and see if they can help. Take good pics of the front and back of the coin, so they can see as many details as possible.

I'm not a serious numismatist or anything, but I do have a collection of old US coins (and some old paper money) around here. Some of it I inherited from relatives, and others I found in the register back when I worked at a run-down convenience store (I'd reimburse the till with modern currency to make up for what I took, of course ). I don't think any of it is particularly valuable, but at least some of it is pretty cool to me.

Among my favorites are the pre-Indian Head pennies (larger in diameter than modern quarters!), buffalo nickels, and 1943 steel wheat pennies, not to mention old-style dollar coins (both Morgan silver dollars and the Eisenhower clad ones which came later). To add to the fun, I have one of these hanging on the wall; it's been converted to work as a regular phone, but I occasionally put coins into before making calls just for the heck of it.
