1 Lira 1863 T "Lira" KM15.2

[sorcerer11]

Sorry for my Italian, I only speak a little Italian so I'm using Google Translate.

I bought 1 lira 1863 T KM15.2 on eBay last year for £10. I thought it was fake, but I decided to take the risk anyway. When I received it, it looked authentic, so I sent it to the NGC in the United States to have it authenticated.

I'm curious how much you think it might be worth, I saw one sold at auction in Switzerland last year for 500 EURO, in similar conditions, but without NGC certification. I find prices ranging from 180 EURO to 600 EURO so I'm curious to know what the experts think.

Thank you

Congratulations on the deal. I think that, given its poor condition, the coin is worth 300-350 euros, despite being very rare. The value of poorly preserved coins has dropped significantly in recent years.

Hi, great deal, congratulations. I agree with @Marcobandiera about the value. I would say 250 - 300 euro. It is a very rare coin, difficult to find in any grade. There is currently one for sale in the new Picena auction , in a slightly better grade, that starts from 400 euro

Grazie, è molto utile. Ho trovato quello che è in vendita a Picena. Guarderò con interesse per vedere a quanto viene venduto.
