What is the value of a 1862 half penny. Victoria D G Britt reg F D
Such a coin does not exist. Queen Victoria was not born until 1819 and did not become queen until 1837. King George III was on the throne in 1800.
The value for a well preserved one could be around $250- $300.
Victoria reigned for about 60 years and there were about a dozen different coin denominations struck so you need to be a lot more specific. Please post a new question with the coin's date, denomination, and condition.
I imagine this to be a coin set in a mount on a ring, but the description is incomplete. If it is a coin it is probably a sovereign. Modified coins have no collector value.
V.R (for Victoria Regina - Queen Victoria)
Well people say nothing but I've been looking around and in outstanding condition 10 English pounds, or 7 dollars..
What you have is a British threepence from the reign of Queen Victoria. The legend on the coin reads in English, Victoria, by the Grace of God Queen of Britain, and what you says is PD should actually be FD, short for Fidei Defensor, which translates into English as Defender of the Faith. When it comes to value, in average condition it goes for $1-10 depending on demand and condition. It really isn't that sought after, but it is sterling silver which gives it most of its value.
At the very least, it will be worth the current bullion value of whatever gold and silver was used to make it. Presumably there is a coin on the chain. Whatever collector value the coin may have had was lost when the coin was modified as a piece of jewellery.
The phrase "VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP" is mostly abbreviated from Latin. The literal definition is - "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India". This expression and variations of it appear on the obverse of all pre-decimal coins of all British Empire/Commonwealth countries. The expression identifies the reigning Monarch of the period, in this case, Queen Victoria. It does not identify the country or the denomination of the coin. The equivalent phrase for Queen Victoria's successor, King Edward VII, is - "EDWARDVS VII DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP". The literal definition is - "Edward VII by the Grace of God, King of all the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India". The phrase varies as the Monarch and the gender of the Monarch changes, and as the circumstances of the British Empire/Commonwealth changes.
TB is the initials of the designer (Thomas Brock) of Queen Victoria's image on all British coins from 1885 to 1901. Victoria dei gra Britt Regina fid ind imp is the Queen's full title in abbreviated Latin. What type of coin is it? What is it made from? What is it's diameter? What is the design on the reverse?
