first4 Valued Member Australia 100 Posts	Posted 08/10/2025 02:06 am hi guys, I believe I have a George VI florin error coin, possibly struck thru grease on the Rx. The rim seems intact on the Rx. The weight of a florin of this era is 11.31g, my coin is 11.04g. Thoughts and opinions welcome. Report this Post to the Staff

SallyG Valued Member Australia 382 Posts	Posted 08/10/2025 04:21 am I am certainly not an expert on these things but a lot of that irregularity looks more like what might be due to damage in circulation rather than being Struck Through Grease. The weight discrepancy might also be due to damage removing some metal? Being Struck Through Grease would not reduce the weight. Looks like it might have had a very hard knock or two during circulation? Report this Post to the Staff

Looks like some sort of corrosion/ acid has eaten away part of the coin reducing the weight. Not an error, it is PMD. Edited by JimmyD 08/10/2025 08:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
