1 Penny - Victoria 2nd portrait

Hello,

Is someone can help me to graduate and evaluate this penny, please?



Thank you very much,
Filipe.

Filipe, I think this is a VF+ example. The lower field of the coin is scratched. Some where on Brittania's shield. A lovely coin all the same. Is it yours?

Hello Ben, thank you for your answer.

That's true, the shield is a little worn. Anyway it is a beautifull coin. On the Victoria's side we can see every details.
I think VF+ is a good graduation even if a would like to give it a XF graduation. So ok for VF+

Yes it's my coin, but i would like to swap it. That's why i ask an evaluation, to make a fair swap.
An idea?

Bonjour Filipe, Tony Clayton's website values your coin at £12 in VF or £50 in EF so maybe yours would be somewhere in between?

Hello Richard, and thank you for your help.

I use to look on the "NGC world coins price guide" to have an idea :

Here as you can see my coin is 22$ in VF and 125$ in XF. But your value is not bad too.
I was thinking about 50$ (40€ - 31£) for value to swap.
Do you think it is too much for this coin?

In my opinion, even if 30, 40, or 50€ are good values, the problem will be to find somebody who want this coin with this value. Alot of people collect only one by type, and obviously will look for one cheapest.
Am i right?

It is a fair price my friend. See what you can do.

I think 40€ is a good value for a swap.

Thank you very much for your help  

Hi Filipe, do you have a larger picture of the penny as I may be interested in a swap, from the small picture it looks like it's had a little bit of a clean with some mild abrasive.

Hello Tony K,

You can trust me, the coin never been washed with an abrasive mild. The coin have a very beautifull patina.
Anyway the coin is already in a trade. I'm sorry.
