Good morning folks. I didn’t want to gum up the new acquisitions thread with more discussion of the grade on this florin but I would love additional input. I purchased it yesterday at my LCS and I’m certain I got it for a steal ($15!!!) The following grades have been offered thus far: MS63 PF63 AU58 The obverse has seen some traffic but the reverse is beautiful. The coin is fully lustrous in hand. Thanks for any insight.
Here are a few more photos in different lights. Did a little research and see that the proof strikes are worth a truckload of money...I like truckloads of money...I also like MS business strike coins that I paid XF money for.
Here is one that I have in (or near) MS condition. I do know that the proof examples of this coin have very distinct details around the stairs of the Parliament House. I don’t believe your coin is a proof, but it is a nice example.
Thanks for the input. I agree that mine is not proof. The steps just aren't there. Keeps me from having to rent a truck for all that money
