Morning All.
I was wondering what grade this 1951 Florin would be, and an approximate value.
I have two of these in pretty much similar condition.

Apologies for the photo quality. My scanner is on the fritz.

1951-Shilling



1951-Shilling

Thanks in Advance.

Looks chUNC to me,the thing with these commerative florins is they were hoarded in bulk so it's easy to obtain high grade coins for not a lot of $$$'s unless their slabbed at 64/65.
The obverse on your coin is stunning,the spot on the reverse is a bit of a worry.
Overall it's a beautiful coin & as a raw coin you'd probably get $25/$30 for it.

Thanks for that.
Yeah I am annoyed at the spot on the reverse. If it wasnt there it would be a perfect coin!

Is there any way to remove it without damaging the coin?

I wouldnt touch it. Itll come out worse than it is. I agree with AA that it looks like a very nice high UNC coin but as he says theyre too common to be worth a great deal.

'51 Jubilee two bobs are easy to get in top grades.

By the way, the 'FLORIN' denomination is two bob, not a bob.
The bob has the official value of one shilling, or simply 'SHILLING'.
