<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 26644604, member: 78719&quot;]In short, no! There were no specific records of which coins were struck when but seems to be the case that none were struck for upcoming or future years. It can not be said for certain either that other earlier dated dies than just the previous year may have been used. Steve Hill at Sovereign would likely substantiate this.</p><p>1863 florin is a perfect example in that 1862 is also a scarcer (but not as rare) so there would be raised suspicion that coins other than 1862 &amp; 63 were struck in that year.</p><p>This is true of virtually all denominations to the best of my understanding and confuses the situation. Rarity is hard to estimate because of this and survival rate is not equal in any case so best on scarcer to rare pieces to follow auction and sales records if at all possible.</p><p>BTW, 1869 and 1870 generally thought to be scarcer dates of florin....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
