Norway Specie Daler, 1/2 Specie Daler, and 24 Skillings 1845 to 1857

Look at the nice-looking coin in our picture. It comes from Goldberg Auctioneers and sold for a whopping $1300 US dollars in the auction in 2010. CoinQuest thanks Goldberg Auctions for use of their coin photo. It's a beauty.

Condition plays an important role in the value of coins like yours. The coin in the picture is in much better condition than an average circulated coin, and this, coupled with the fact that there are no stains, darkenings, or cleanings, make it worth much more than the average circulated price quoted above.

NEVER CLEAN A COIN. CLEANING RUINS VALUE.
