I am interested in collecting some Victorian Great Britain coins more specifically the Gothic Florins. Anyone have any tips on how to start?
First and foremost, get to know the series to a T. Learn about the date range, the history of the design leading up the the first date minted (1851). And familiarize yourself with the grade scale for the series, know what a good likes like compared to a VG or Fine, etc. I have several pieces and have an affinity for the series as a whole. Just do your research and you will have the confidence in tackling the Gothic series.
