There was no brass threepence issued.

No Official Coin Sets
Way back in 1948, the Royal Mint were not in the habit of issuing proof or uncirculated coin sets every year. Proof or specimen coin sets were only issued on special occasions such as coronations and jubilees. It was not until 1970 that they started to issue coin sets every year for sale to collectors.

The eight pre-decimal coin types, halfcrown, florin, English shilling, Scottish shilling, sixpence, penny, halfpenny and farthing.
