I was watching a youtube video on rare coins and I came accross a video that had the 1890 H Victorian 50 cent.It looked very similar to my coin so upon furthur research I found out its a quarter, late 1800. The coin is VERY worn down so I could never quite identify it, and I had only the last number which looks like a two and a very faint 7. But I'm pretty sure its 1872, anyway when I saw the design was similar. I got such a heart race I have been trying to figure out what this is for a while, anyway could I get some advice on the holes and whatnot I'm kinda new to this, good find or just a cool keepsake? PS// sorry about the image quality, night time rn and cant get good lighting ill add some more tomorrow. Edited by Jonah_h 12/20/2017 08:33 am Report this Post to the Staff

Are you sure that it's a 50 cent piece (from the size)? Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 12/21/2017 05:37 am Scrap silver is about 10X face, so your coin would be worth a little over $2 Canadian because the weight would be much less than minted weight. Report this Post to the Staff
