Not really that familiar with these, but I'd probably spitball it at Fine or so.

 

Just another spitball, a bit lower, VG.

Eek, gasp!


Good thing I paid melt 4 it

 

I think probably around VG American grade as well.

 

But but, but, it's got a full liberty....er uh I mean full crown, well sort of

 

Is it die 87? I can't make it out for sure. Just curious

 

I haven't the slightest clue, you might as well be speaking British, er um a foreign language.
Where can I check this? Or was it a joke ?

 

Right under her broach is a number, Maybe 17? I dunno

Well how about that!! Die 21!!! That is very very cool !!! I wish Morgan vams were that easy, you learnt me something, thank u thank u..... Now, is #21 any good???

 

You're welcome. I was off both times. I need to get my eyes checked.
I have no idea when it comes to dies and values. I know it does affect values on certain dates.

 

I looked at the ngc price guide and they have VF listed @ $85....Doesn't show a value 4 G, VG or F.... Which was ultimately why I posted her, 1st coin of the type and now I want an upgrade!!!

 

Yeah they are beautiful coins. I have 3 or 4.

@Paul M.
I sometimes try to imagine what some of the members collections look like here, it's like yea, I have 3 or 4 of these in AU/Unc just thrown into a mason jar somewhere with some of my other lower value $400-$500 coins. I'll hafta see if I can dig them out, now where did I leave that jar? In the garage, behind my coffee can full of UNC Standing Liberty Quarters, hmmmmmm

 

Hahahaha mine certainly are not AU/Unc. They are more like yours. I also paid melt for them

 

I'd call it Fine (American grade).

 

I'd take a VG gothic florin over an MS65 Morgan any day of the week.

Nice pick up!

 

Well, depends on the date of said ms65 Morgan. BUT, I'd take an original XF/AU gothic florin over a common date ms66 morgan.

 

I'd call that a VG, certainly worth more than melt. The Godless and Gothic Florins are addictive, here's the "Godless" version which omitted Dei Gratia in my type set:



And my type example of the "Gothic" Florin:



Some of the years seem to tone really nicely (better than mine), so keep an eye out for those.

 

As a British collector I would rate it VG. I'd not melt it but I'd value it around that.
