    Here's a coin I recently picked up. A 1927 Australian Florin, commemorating the opening of the new Parliament House in Canberra. It's an attractive and well-made design, and remains a popular type to collect.

    This one is in a PCGS holder. Guess the grade!

    Nice, I just picked up a circulated one in a lot of coins I purchased below spot.

    I'm going MS61.

    Descent strike, but a rough planchet. I am gonna say MS63.

    Looks around an MS62, but that area behind the head is troubling. From the pic, it looks like a spot may have been removed. If so, UNC Details - Spot Removed.

    All the guesses were close, but only @Chris B got it right on. :) It's got good luster, and the reverse is pretty clean, but the obverse has quite a few marks.

    PCGS MS61

    That reverse is stunning. Now that I have seen you video I'm surprised that didn't bring it up a point or two.

    I'll pull a Detecto and predict... MS-61

    That's a beauty, and has eye appeal superior to its technical grade.

    I've long loved this type. Here is mine.

    PS- I daresay I like yours every bit as much as mine, despite the 3 grade point difference. That blazing cartwheel luster is killer.

    I should make a video or GIF of mine sometime.
