ccg Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 F-VF. Without looking in a book, I'd guessimate $10 or so for retail value. Late issue so relatively common, even in better grades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 ccg is on the money. I'd F-VF as well, but with those rim bumps probably Fine is about right. Trends put it at $16 in Fine. On ebay it'd probably go for half that though, maybe a bit less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I would be grateful for some information regarding this coin if posible. In particular grade, value and history. Good day Rob THe previous posters are much kinder than I am. I believe your coin to be no better than VG. there is too much wear at the top of the "E" in cent & the letter "N" is also badly worn,then there are the scratches all over with the deep one running between 'one & cent', corrosion & dent/dings in the edge. THe jewels in her crown, actually all the high points are quite worn. THe fine hair detail is not observable in the photo, even blown up 4 times the submitted size. Finally there is the ribbon in her hair where it touches her neck. that is a high detail that is almost not visible in your photo. So maybe an upper VG coin , but thats of course my opinion. Trends value in the latest issue (Aug 13/Sept 13-2010) puts this in VG-1900'H' as $4.00, if it is a Fine- $5.00 Trends has been downgrading pries for lower quality coins lately based on the information for what these have been bringing in at shows, auctions etc around the Country.

Jekkoh Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Even though the quality isn't the best, this is still a beautiful piece of Canadian history. Here's some more interesting info about this particular coin: It was one of approximately 2600 Canadian one cent coins minted at Birmingham Mint in Birmingham, England. Here's the link to the mint's wikipedia page for more info: Birmingham Mint Wikipedia Page Canadian one cent coins were also minted at the Royal Mint in England in 1900, but yours has a small "H" on the reverse at the very bottom signifying that it comes from Birmingham(FYI Royal Mint Coins have no markings). Enjoy your acquisition! -Jekkoh- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
