Shibbilydo New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 02:38 am Hello, I was going through some of my grandparents things with them and found this coin, I could not really find much information on it, it is marked "Victoria Queen" (From left to right how I would read it, but I'm pretty sure its "Queen victoria" :P ) on the front, and "Cyprus" "One Piastre" on the back, with a big "1" in the center, here are images of the front and back! Front: Back I know the condition is not amazing by any stretch, with the green marks and such on them, however I was wondering if it has value, my grandparents basically gave it and a few other coins to me for helping them clean out there attic and basement. I am not a collector personally and was coinsidering selling them, which my grandparents do not really care about, as they were just things they have saved from a vacation they took when young. Thank you for your time! Report this Post to the Staff

With the green spots I would estimate about half as it's pretty bad corrosion and not just slime that can be removed. Report this Post to the Staff
