    I've just received an email back from Peter and he has confirmed that the coin in the BSC book is NOT the one sold as Lot 1135 in LCA auction 124.

    The 1967 off-metals are probably the mint workers having a bit of fun as this coincided with the closure of the mint at Tower Hill and its relocation to Llantrisant. There are quite a few of them about. The 1868 cupro-nickel proofs were intentional as all denominations otherwise struck in bronze are known and it coincided with the introduction of cupro-nickel coins for Jamaica. Copper and bronze don't perform well in humid tropical conditions, so they switched to cupro-nickel for this reason. The same applied to a number of British possessions with similar climates. For example, here is a third farthing struck in cupro-nickel from the same period.

    Well if I'd been offered 3k for a coin I'd immediately put it on ebay with a 0 feedback account and hope to do better.
