Not much apparent lustre and a couple of "bag marks"? Better than many MS60 or MS62's, but that's a different ballpark... ;)

Obvious wear on the maces, definitely circulated aEf at best.
Most certainly not a $245 coin

I am still trying to find the steps in front of the entrance. Best, quick way to suss one of these coins out quickly.

The steps on these is mainly an indication of the quality of the strike and not the best way to gauge the grade.
The crown ends of the mace and the shell above the parliament house are the high points to look for wear.
Also make sure the toning is even, this coin has toned but is lighter on the high areas that point to it being circulated

That's what I'm thinking, a weak strike. Looks neat, but just not attractive.

WOW!! If that's worth $249 and graded as UNC then my best 27 Canberra must be worth $550! You think he'd be interested in buying mine?

These are my favorite Aussie florins and I have dozens of them.
This one IMHO is just a run of the mill coin, It even appears to have been cleaned.
The best one I own would be aUNC-Unc and would make this one look like an ugly sister.
I have bought off this seller in the past and have been happy with the coins.
I have absolutely no idea why this was listed as it is .
I just hope he has buggered up with the pic's and makes the necessary revisions. Or changes the listing.
