<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 1083270, member: 23692&quot;]The 1859 was, by far, the highest minted number coin in the Victoria series... 10 million.&nbsp; It is the commonist that you will find of any date.&nbsp; They were bronze and that is what yours appears to be.&nbsp; Both the bronze and brass(very rare) examples appear nearly identical and it takes an expert to tell the two apart.&nbsp; There are less than a handful of brass ones known.&nbsp; Yours appears bronze and has been cleaned.&nbsp; Worth anywhere from $2-$10 depending on grade if not a scarcer variety.&nbsp; The 2011 edition (65th) edition of Charlton&#039;s Canada coin guide has the Victoria Large Cent varieties listed in the back (a very small sample of 80 realtively well-known ones).&nbsp; There are probably close to 1000 varieties of the 1859 counting various die marriages(Obv vs Rev).&nbsp; They are nice, very interesting coins, but not worth much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
