    Beautiful coins, very detailed. What's the size and weight of these coins.

    As an American I would still say Fine would be over grading. That is VG at best.

    Nice Gothic florin! I have examples for most dates except the two scarcest (1854 and 1862) but few are much better than Fine. Once you appreciate the Floring the Gothic Crown becomes irresistable - said by many to be one of the handsomest coins ever produced, about the size of a Morgan dollar.

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask about my coin. Can anyone tell me more about this coin? IMG_2947.JPG IMG_2948.JPG

    It appears to be an 1887 Gothic florin in decent condition. The pictures are a bit vague, as to condition details.

    Yes - 1887 Gothic Florin. The date is in Roman Numerals just behind her shoulder on the obverse.
    I would suggest the grade of VF by UK system. There is a section of the reverse that has flattened and there appear to be some recent scrubbing/scratch marks on the obverse to keep it back.
    1887 is a good date as the new Jubilee head was introduced in that year and fewer of these older style ones were made. My 2011 Spinks suggests GBP 75 in VF for this coin.

    Taking another look, VF seems reasonable.

    VG, maybe VG+ ( the first coin)
    VF, cleaned on the second
