1862 Victoria coin identification help

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have the following coin and can't locate a thing about it. I have searched most forums and photos and would appreciate some help.

Its a 1862 1 1/12 silver coin.

Victoria D:G:BRITANNIA:REGINA:F:D

Sorry for the poor quality photos. The coin weighs 0.66g and is tiny, much smaller than a current 5p. 1cm diameter.

It could be a Threehalfpence - 1 1/2

It is an 1862 threehalfpence which was first issued for colonial use in 1834 and last issued in 1862, though a proof only was made in 1870. 1862 is a better date as the common ones are 1834, 1838,1839 & 1843. The value will depend on the grade for which we would need a picture.

I would hazard a guess at about the VF mark - say £10-15. The pictures are too fuzzy to see the detail.

With a good photo it may make a bit more on Ebay,it looks a reasonable example.

About VF as I first said. The hair detail isn't the best on many of the small silver issues which makes worn examples look worse than they usually are.
