Yeah,the estimate is way too low but all auction places do that these days from what I've seen & read. If it makes you feel all tingly just lookin at the pics imagine what it will be like if you get it in hand  |

If you were going to get that one in hand I would advise investing in some adult nappies so you dont ruin your pants.

A very nice coin, still to my inexperienced eye I would not say that it is a MS65. Lots of marks on the obverse and I think the bottom hand on the Reverse is showing wear. Am I wrong here? Still I do agree about one thing.... Pete |

Very nice. Should run up close to US$1000. PCGS examples in that grade usually fetch $1000+

I think that coin would have more likely got a graded of ms64 if graded by pcgs ,still a extremely nice coin tho , I agree yep around the 1k mark for that coin , if it was a PCGS ms65 more like $1400 to 2k, if you are lucky to have a ms66 they are worth $2500+ and a ms67 well you have hit the jackpot with $4k+
I noticed there are a few pcgs ms65's on quicksales atm

I don't see the wear on the hand but my eye goes straight to the major nick right above O and R.
If I had this in hand my wife may considering it cheating. So I best let others bid on it. Cheers guys.

Nice coin, but I struggle to see how its MS65. By Australian standards it would probably be classified as choice unc. The estimate obviously is way to low, I reckon it will probably make just under $1,000

The condition is impressive, but I would have liked to seen a full wreath on the rider's head. After all, they only struck 75,000 of these, presumably off more than one working die pair.
I have an example, but is only EF, a grade in which they are commonly found.

I have one of these in ef.
I don't particularly like the design much but I had to have one to finish off my florin set.
That is the only reason I bought one.
I have dozens of 1927 parliament house florins on ef and better simply because I really like the design

The reverse design of the '34-35 Centenary Florin was done by KG. I rather like it, as well as the '27 design. This design was used on a number of medals as well, which commemorated the same event.
The '27 PH design was KG's first on an issued coin. I think it was perhaps his best. His designs on British Commonwealth and homeland coins were prolific and varied.
You could do worse than assembling a type set across the British Commonwealth of ALL of his designs. The general character of his designs, over a range of coins designed by him, become obvious.
You can tell a composer by his work. That is also the case with George Kruger Gray, (1880 - 1943).
When I was a kid, I had no idea what 'KG' meant. My answer, (wrong), was 'King Goofy', inspired by Walt Disney comics!
