    Just when I thought I'd identified all the coins with any value from my collection I came across this:

    Spain40C1.jpg Spain40C2.jpg

    Coinquest has the following advice:

    40 CENTIMOS: 22 mm diameter, 0.135 Troy ounces silver
    worn: $10 US dollars catalog value
    average circulated: $200
    well preserved: $35
    for coins dated 1864 and carrying a small, 7-pointed star, multiply these values by 8
    for coins dated 1865 and carrying a small, 8-pointed star, multiply these values by 12

    I'm guessing the $35 is a typo (should be £350?). Wishing it was an 1865 (!) but still looks like it should be worth a nice sum? BTW, the green is not verdigris, it wiped off on my fingertip, maybe felt tip pen.

    $200 is the typo.
    Catalog on this date is VG $5 F $7.50 VF $12.50 XF $30
