I came across the 1894 ZAR Penny today when going through some old coins......it looks AUNC to me, I would appreciate some input from the Forum's Numismatic experts.

Hi,

 

Try and clean it a bit with Acetone usind an earbud. If the deposit doesnt come off and the surface is pitted, perhaps it has undergone environmental damage.

 

My humble view.

Many thanks Geejay, I thought the coin's Patina was an asset, that is why I liked the Penny, I live and learn.........thanks for the tip on how to treat the surface.

The Devil is in the Details

 

If it grades high AU or low MS it is a R2000 coin.

 

If it grades "details" in whatever grade it is worth R200
