I sold some old eBay buys at a dealership and decided to buy what I thought was a Queen Victoria crown but when I got home and did some research I couldn't find another one with the same reverse, so hopefully someone here can help me
Great Britain 1887 double florin(2 shillings) if it is KM#746.4 .925 silver , mintage-1,777,000 grade/value F-$30.00 VF-$65.00 XF-$225.00 UNC-$375.00 if it is KM#762 .925 silver , mintage- same as above grade/value F-$6.00 VF-$10.00 XF-$16.00 UNC-$40.00 I would guess your coin is VF-XF Krause catalog prices may differ from real life market values. wait for Great Britain coin collectors to tell you more about your coins grade and value.
double florin---four shilling piece---known as the barmaids ruin-they were often confused with the crown and wrong change given---issued 1887-1890--my book quotes mintage as 483,347.a nice example value at least £40--a collectable coin
should have mentioned that there are two varieties of these --the one of the date can be roman or Arabic--yours looks like the arabic
