1893 10c Nederlanden coin ?

Hello, I wandered in from the currency site. I have a 10c 1893 coin that has Wilhelmina Koningin Der Nederlanden on the front, with a profile of a woman, and 10 cent 1893 on the back. Can anyone tell me about this coin, and it's value? It's pretty dirty, but in very good condition otherwise.

Thanks for your help.

    I have no idea on grading coins, but I could try to get a digital pic for others to determine.

    Allright, here we go....

    From the 10 cents 1893 (Netherlands or Holland) were 2.000.000 coins minted. It shows Queen Wilhelmina when she was 12 on the obverse, and the value + date on the reverse. The coin is from Silver, 0.640 fine. The weight is 1.4 grams, and the edge is reeded...

    Queen Wilhelmina was born in 1880. When she was 10, in 1890, her father, King Willem III died. Because she was only 10 at that them, and to young to be head of a country, her mother, Emma, took over her job for 8 years. On her 18th birthday, in 1898, she became officialy Queen of the Netherlands. She did this for 50 years, till 1948. Then Queen Juliana took it over (she died 1 1/2 months ago). Queen Wilhelmina died on 11-28-1962.

    The value is the following:

    Fine: $18
    Very Fine: $60
    Extremely Fine: $132
    Uncirculated: $ 200

    Hope this helps,

    Dennis
