<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2787290, member: 10461&quot;]Your T1 Buff is difficult for me, due to the striking characteristics of the type.&nbsp; I will pass on rendering any judgment there, but nothing in the high AU or low MS range would surprise me much.&nbsp; For that reason, I&#039;ll accept your grading opinion since I don&#039;t have any strong convictions of my own on this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no such doubts in my convictions about your British florin.&nbsp; It is clearly an AU coin.&nbsp; There is noticeable rub on Britannia&#039;s left breast and arm, not to mention both legs and the top edge of her shield.&nbsp; The obverse of Edward VII coins are difficult to grade because of the texture of his sparse, wispy hair. But the scattered obverse marks you noticed are not uncommon on lightly circulated pieces, and they don&#039;t throw up any major red flags for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your florin here is only an AU, and I personally would only go AU50-53 on it.&nbsp; That being said, the toning is nice, and I&#039;m sure with luster present that looks nicer in hand.&nbsp; This is a lovely type, and despite over twenty years of collecting various British coins, I&#039;ve somehow managed to not have any of those yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both nice coins in this thread, though I think you&#039;re still grading on the high side.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
