Yes please. I found this coin in a bargain rice bowl, at the pirated DVD capital of North America, located in an Asian area within the greater Toronto area...The Pacific Mall. Paid 2 bucks for it, and based on Canadian grade criteria for Queen Victoria coins, Id give it a very low VF. 2 bucks for a silver coin that slightly smaller in diameter than a quarter. Thanks, Im lost and I dont have any resources to do this myself, as I am primarily a Canadian collector I found it interesting that their coins also have an H (Heaton) mint mark. Thanks alot.
A very good deal indeed. It's listed at $8 F, $17.50 VF in my outdated 2001 3rd Ed. Krause. At the time, of course, HK was a British Crown Colony and its coins were minted alongside home country money at Heaton and Kings Norton, as well as the Royal Mint. In 1866-68 some were produced at a Mint established by the British in the colony. KM#7 is 5.4308g of .800 silver (.1397 ASW), minted at the Royal Mint (125,000) as well as Heaton (450,000) in 1890. The Royal Mint coins with no mintmark are marginally more valuable than their Heaton counterparts.
Thanks very much hontanai. I kind of thought I really couldnt go wrong for 2 bucks. I went through the whole bowl, and this was the only Vickie there. Ill just put it in a 2x2 and hang on to it. Hope its not a Chinese fake.
Same in my 2010 issue ( disk bought in 2010, but the "front' or "issue" page wasn't added to the PDF)
