Coin and Paper Money Collecting/1 krona

Question
I have a 1 Krona coin dated 1898, of good condition.  I wondered what its value might be?

Answer
Hi Alison, There were 1.86 million of these Swedish 1 Krona coins minted that year featuring King Oscar II (1872-1907). It contains .1929 of an ounce of silver and collector value may be worth about $3.50 with heavy wear to around $25 with moderate wear to maybe $80 with light wear.
