<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sidney toh, post: 2087049, member: 73012&quot;]Straits Settlements Queen Victoria 50 cents coins, they are a challenge to collect. It&#039;s the highest value then in circulation for the period minted from 1886 to 1901 other then the British Trade Dollars which only started circulation in 1895.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, finding high grade coins for this series is hard and expensive. Mintage was low, circulations high, making most coins worn off. So finding coins in VF to XF conditions is a consolation, AU a steal, UNC a jackpot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Attached a XF copy, sadly graded by NGC with excessive surface hairline scratches which I bought raw prior sending for slabbing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Region : Straits Settlements</p><p>Reign : Queen Victoria</p><p>Year : 1899</p><p>Denomination : 50 cents</p><p>Content : .800 Silver</p><p>Weight : 13.517 g</p><p>Diameter : 31 mm</p><p>Coin Edge : Milled</p><p>Coin Shape: Round</p><p>Mint : Royal Mint, London</p><p>Mintage : 136,000 pieces</p><p>Artist&#039;s : Leonard Charles Wyon</p><p>Grade : XF Details</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu146/sidtoh/Coin/QVictoria189950cts28b_zps88c640ab.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
