<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 5925906, member: 10461&quot;]Nice find.&nbsp; I&#039;d grade it G+ to VG.&nbsp; As such, it&#039;s a $30-ish coin nowadays.&nbsp; (Melt value is $22.78 as I type this.)</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces12800.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces12800.html" rel="nofollow">Here&#039;s the Numista page for the type.</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/great-britain-crown-km-783-1893-lvi-1900-lxiv-cuid-1175715-duid-1323794" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/great-britain-crown-km-783-1893-lvi-1900-lxiv-cuid-1175715-duid-1323794" rel="nofollow">Here&#039;s the NGC Priceguide page.</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There are two varieties for the 1900 crown, depending on the edge lettering, which should say:</p><p><br /></p><p>DECUS ET TUTAMEN. ANNO REGNI LXIII [or LXIV]</p><p><br /></p><p>Translation: &quot;An ornament and a safeguard. 63rd [or 64th] year of reign&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So I guess the LXIV (64th regnal year) coins were struck after June 20, 1900, which was the 63rd anniversary of Victoria&#039;s coronation, meaning that any struck after June 20th were in the 64th year of her reign.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
