dmdubose New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 11/12/2013 3:51 pm I recently ran across an almost mint condition on the obverse side of an 1858-1859 Large Queen Victoria Cent and almost nothing on the reverse side. I know that the years 1858-1859 were the only years it was minted. And, according to my "A Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens 1st Edition", this is the first decimal coinage for Canada. I am trying to upload the pics. Is it a fake or real? I can't believe that one side could be almost mint condition and the other side worn down to near nothing but a blank with a couple of letters visible. I wonder what is its worth, if any at all? Thank you, dmdubose Report this Post to the Staff

I say this due to the huge amount of rim wear and scratches on the reverse. Furthermore the wearing becoming more and more leads me to believe that this coin was part of jewellery or served a menial purpose. Report this Post to the Staff
