El Salvador 1 Centavo 1892 and 1893

Sounds like you have an intriguing specimen, Tina. Most of these old coins from El Salvador are pretty well beat up. If you have an uncirculated specimen, or one which is nearly uncirculated, you have a valuable coin.

NEVER CLEAN A COIN. CLEANING RUINS VALUE.

Here is what the catalogs say about your coin:

worn: $50
average circulated: $120
well preserved: $180
fully uncirculated: $400

Be sure you understand that these are catalog values, and actual values vary substantially. You can see an explanation about catalog values at our Terminology page.

Coins dated 1893 are more rare than coins dated 1892. Double the values if you have an 1893.
