Norway 50 Ore, 1 Krone, 2 Kroner 1874 to 1904

Every once in a while you come across a series of coins which is truly valuable due to its scarcity. These old coins from Norway qualify as such a series. If your coin is genuine, Marilyn, it is probably worth several hundred dollars.

DO NOT CLEAN YOUR COIN. CLEANING RUINS VALUE.

The coin in our picture comes from respected eBay seller anakin7364 and it is currently at auction with bids well above $100 US dollars.

The fact that your coin is in almost uncirculated condition is both exciting and troubling. Excitement comes from the fact that you have a rare coin. Trouble comes from the fact that it may be counterfeit. If your coin is geniune, the values below apply. If not, your coin has no value. You can write to CoinQuest and we may be able to determined if your coin is real or fake from a picture you send.
