A friend a work asked for some help with this coin. I believe it is German States, but I have no idea what it might be worth or what it is, for that matter. My Krause doesn't go this old.

Almost the exact size of a US quarter, it is copper or bronze? Is it like a cent? any idea of value?

Thanks for the help

It is certainly a German States coin. I do not have my kruase book with me at the moment so I can't tell you what state.

Becky even if you have the current book you can identify the shield with the particular state. The older book is only good for the exact value of the coin and mintage figures plus a few stats.

I can tell you from my memory that it is a lower denomination coin minted during the time of Germany's unification.

Personally I would value the coin at no more then a few dollars. This is due to its low denomination and the large number available.

Nice details left in the coin though.

Much of the pertinent info is there on the coin: it is a 1 kreuzer (100 to a Gulden) dated 1854 from the central German state of Saxe-Meiningen. That makes it KM-163, a copper one year type with a mintage of 202,000 valued at about $3.
