<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 26112247, member: 77639&quot;]The florin coin pictured below is up for auction by Galleria in Japan.&nbsp;&nbsp; It’s part of series of beautiful patterns designed by Wyon and produced in 1848 by the Royal Mint.&nbsp; Coins in the series typically go for high 4-figures and up.&nbsp; With various combinations of obverses and reverses, there are 27 coins in the series.&nbsp; The design accepted for production was essentially the same as the famous gothic proof crown of 1847 (also by Wyon).&nbsp; And no, I don’t own any of these florin patterns.&nbsp; This coin appears to have flan crack visible on the obverse.&nbsp; Yet it was straight graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1665543[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1665544[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>However, I’ve noticed other coins with flan cracks that straight graded.&nbsp; An example is pictured below.&nbsp; This is a Morgan pattern in the famous Snowden series which has edge lettering.&nbsp; This example is made of aluminum.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, is there a point at which a flan crack is so bad that a coin will get a details grade or be considered an error coin or not be gradable?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1665545[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1665546[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
