Message:: [QUOTE="satootoko, post: 45007, member: 669"]Welcome to the forum buzer. Straits Settlements was a combination of Singapore and two other British Colonial Territories on the Maylay Peninsula, and is now mostly part of Maylasia. In 1862 it was being administered as part of British India, and by 1888 it had become a Crown Colony. British North Borneo is also now part of Maylasia, known as Sabeh. Victoria's reign as British Queen from 1837-1901 was one of the longest of any monarch in history.This is KM#10, 1.36g of .800 silver (.0349 oz. ASW). 295,000 were minted. They are worth their weight in silver (about 25¢ currently) in lower grades, and are listed in the Standard Catalog of World Coins 19th Century 3rd Ed. from $5-100, depending on condition, in Fine and above.This is a bronze coin, KM#2, and should have an "H" (Heaton) mint mark. There were 6-million circulation coins and an unspecified number of proof coins minted that year. They are worth less than a dollar in lower grades, and listed in the SCWC at $3-80 for Fine and above.KM#6, copper, mintage 9,321,000. Your description indicates a grade no higher than VG, and probably G-4, which has no particular numismatic value. The same coin in Fine and above is cataloged at $6.50-185. About all that can be told from your pictures is that none of the coins would grade Extra Fine or better.[/QUOTE]
