Question
I have a coin that's an 1885 victoria D:C Britt:reg:F:D coin can you please tell me the approximate value.
Hi Emily, Collector value of a coin depends on denomination (face value), date, mint mark (if any), number minted and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning as well as collector demand for it.
It is a British coin featuring Queen Victoria (1837-1901).
Does it have a denomination (like 1 penny, 6 pence, etc)?
With more info I'll be glad to help further.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
