One Cent coin 1864 NEW BRUNSWICK?

Recommended Posts

I can not find anything on this and was wondering if anyone here could help identify this coin please?

Because it has Victoria on it im unsure if it is a British coin / token or a Colonial coin / token?

The front has Victoria (in poor condition)

The back has a wreath surrounding coin, at the top centre is the words ONE CENT

in the middle is a CROWN 1864

at the bottom is the words NEW BRUNSWICK

Any ideas please?

Hi Digger,

That is a Canadian coin from the Province of New Brunswick. It had a mintage of 1,000,000 with two varieties, a short 6 or a tall 6.

Yours appears to be the short 6 variety. The value is the same in lower grades though.

G-4 ;$4

VG-8 ;$7

F-12 ; $10

Hi Digger,I will quote from the Charlton Standard grading guide for the Victoria Portrait.

"F-12 The braid, along with the top knot design have lost sharpness. Braiding has begun to run together.

The two twists of the top knot are merging. The central leaves of the laurel wreath show wear.

VG-8 No design in braid around ear.

G-4 The braid, laurel wreath, top knot and facial features are worn through. Basically what is left of the

portrait design is a silhouette."

I am not a coin grader even when they are in my hand so you will have to do your own assesment based on the above info.

Hope this helps, John.

Yes Digger,I think it is about $2 Canadian per British pound so that should be fair.
