Hmmm... basically, not really, but working out exactly what you've got there is a little complicated. First off, which kind of 2 centime is it? Belgium at the time was issuing two different sets of coins - one with the language in French (the obverse legend is "ROI DES BELGES"), the other set in Flemish (Dutch) with "KONING DER BELGEN" on the obverse. Not that it makes much difference to the value: $1 to $4 for VF to EF specimens of both types; the mintages were much the same for both (just under 2½ million each).

There are two rarer varieties listed in Krause to watch for: a 1905/2 overdate on the Flemish one ($3 to $15 in same condition) and a "thin flan" ($5 to $35), though you'd need to know how thick a "normal flan" is to compare it with; unfortunately, Krause doesn't give such statistics.

Hope this helps.

a pic would help a lot, if you can't get it up yourself then email it so Susan of Bobby (Forum "mom" and "dad") or a moderator and they can probably help!
