The 1888 Queen Victoria 10 Cents is a business-strike issue from Canada, struck at the Royal Canadian Mint. A relatively low-mintage year at 500,000 struck — scarcer than most Queen Victoria 10 Cents issues and worth checking dates and mintmarks for. Current catalog values range from $15 in lower grades to $1,000 in top condition — toward the affordable end of the series; composed of silver (.925) (.925 silver .075 copper) (2.32 g).
