At first I thought it was 1 Shilling Queen Victoria Great Britain Coin but the circle of detail just in from the edge is not consistent with photos I’ve seen. Thanks for the help.
That is indeed Victoria, but from the colony of Jamaica... Penny, halfpenny or farthing. Not silver but copper-nickel alloy.
These (any of those 3 denominations) are rather common as types. It has zero value in that condition (certain coins in such REALLY low grade have kind of a bizarro "lowball" collector appeal, but that's usually more for large silver crown-sized coins).
Thanks for your help. I was not thinking any value at all just drove me nuts trying to find the provenance.
I got as far as 'Victoria', but you can always count on someone on this forum being helpful. Welcome by the way, and of course, I love your handle. Are you mad as in crazy, mad as in angry, or mad as in infatuated?
