Italy 2 Lire 1923 to 1935

Well, that's cool, Kacie. 1927 is a *good date* for this coin. The Italian 2 lire from 1923 to 1935 was minted in nickel and in large quantities during the early years, but, as time went on, mintage got lower and lower. When mintage gets lower, values go up. However, in Kacie's case, the spots, stains and scratches on the coin will work against value.

DO NOT CLEAN YOUR COIN. CLEANING RUINS VALUE.
