    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.

    I just gotta upgrade my Parliament Florin. Paid under spot for a lot of .925 in 2009. Wasn’t unhappy until I see these beauties

    The obverses of both are pretty similar in my opinion. The busy reverse tends to make problems tougher to see, at least to my eyes. The reverse of both coins are stunning.
