Hi, could any1 give me an idea of how much a medallion like my this is worth ple

I found thishttps://www.ebay.ca/itm/234218014942#:~:text=1901%20UK%20United%20Kingdom%20Death%20of%20QUEEN%20VICTORIA%20Antique%20OLD%20Token%20Medal%20i96274

I couldn’t find any others for sale but cool medal

The price in the link is unrealistic for a Medaillon of this type. They were produced as souvenirs at certain points in the royal family’s timeline, coronations, deaths, etc, mid 1800s to early 1900s for royal loving subjects (i e victorians) to part with their money - so they were made of cheap metal to increase profits for the businesses producing them and the quality was inferior to coins of the day with cheaper metal - so if you imagine a copper queen Victoria Penny being better quality than this and at the time a Penny was worth a penny and this was probably being sold for 3 pence or something like that (which as a coin would have been a small piece of silver) you can start to see the con going on due to patriotism etc.

Now because this is a souvenir of no significant historical value (other than it commemorates the death of Queen Victoria, but had nothing to do with her or the royal family) you can understand why it is not worth $300+, if the eBay seller was to put that on auction at $1 they may get $10 at best, plus the one on eBay is in far better condition than yours. If there was providence that this Medaillon was worn by someone important (instead of an everyday person) at the actual funeral of Queen Victoria then it might be worth the $300+, but as already explained the attendees of such an event wouldn’t have worn such a thing - as in all likelihood they would have looked down their noses at the people who did wear or buy this (even for the time) type of tat - it is sad to say common people type of worthless trinkets. (And this is the view of the royal family and the rich that have stollen from the UK for hundreds of years unchecked, not my opinion), so if you were to take this to an auction House or antique dealership in the UK they would laugh you out the door, if you were to take it to a flee market or pawn shop they might give you a couple of £s for it if you are very lucky - but trust me when i say that if you took this to them telling the owners of said shop it was worth $300+ you will also get a swift rebuff.

It is not worth more than £5 and even then you have to find someone who collects this type of thing - my honest opinion (as you probably found it in one of your relatives procession, is to keep hold of it to remember what was of personal value to then and as a way to remember your link to your family) if on the other hand you have just acquired it from somewhere random and are thinking you can make some money from it, unfortunately you will be disappointed.

Me neither, Im thinking it needs to be taken somewhere to get it valued. thank you 

It’s more curiosity than anything else as the coins I can find but the medals, well nothing much comes up I can’t find any for sale other than the one on eBay which is snapped so it doesnt appear to be a common price of tat 

Angemoo

It’s more curiosity than anything else as the coins I can find but the medals, well nothing much comes up I can’t find any for sale other than the one on eBay which is snapped so it doesnt appear to be a common price of tat 

I meant it as a generalisation „common piece of tat“ because there were so many different people/companies producing these things - I have three from the South West of England (all are tat, different metals, different historical events of the royal family, etc) with the same lack of information about them or comparable prices or past sales available as sources. The reason for this is not that they are rare one in a million treasure of historical significance, rather that the majority of these have been disposed of, lost or forgotten and never resold - because unfortunately they are worthless pieces of tat with no historical significance (other than personal memories) and are made of a low quality.

High quality & historical significance = valuable 

Low quality & subject to historical significance = not valuable 

You say you are just interested in the curiosity, but you hold on to the notion and hope that because you can’t find a reliable plentiful source of price information (or any information) it is somehow something special and thus not tat, but the fact that these sources aren’t readily available proves that it is nothing but an item subject to historical significance, this coupled with the fact that the material and production isn’t of high quality means it is of no historical significance and thus isn’t valuable.

Valuable is of course here relative because someone somewhere might be willing to pay for it, hence an eBay seller trying their luck with a price of $300+ (50% reduced because no one is buying it), and the eBay item isnt „snapped“ the loop has been removed on purpose, probably because someone wanted to rebrand it as a token instead of a medallion - to try to increase it’s saleable value.

Compare this Medallion (it is not an official medal) to the actual official medals of the royal family, her sons coronation medal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Edward_VII_Coronation_Medal , her jubilee medals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria_Diamond_Jubilee_Medal & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria_Golden_Jubilee_Medal and you will instantly see the difference between high and low quality and significant historical significance. These medals are worth money, your medallion is not, that unfortunately is just the way it is - rich and poor people want to own nicely made things of significant historical importance, hence they pay high prices and the value is high - if something is bought as a keepsake, it will never be valuable, other than to the person who purchased it - capitalist economics.
