appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 08/27/2012 07:15 am I got these a couple of weeks ago,most are UNC with friction/rub I believe,$8.20 each delivered,don't know why one looks an orange colour as it does'nt look that way in hand. How do PCGS view friction/rub on coins ? Do they knock them down in grade ? Report this Post to the Staff

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 08/27/2012 07:27 am A lot of these along with the 1951 commemorative florins were hoarded as bullion and just chucked into tubs. I assume that this is the reason that sooo many have that nasty rubbing on the King/Queens portrait. These look nice and at the price you got them at it was a bargain. Can you scan the best 1 or 2 singly The fields on the reverse look pretty clean This is one of my better ones and it is a long way from being "Perfect". These are remarkably hard to get in high end MS condition Edited by trout1105 08/27/2012 07:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 08/27/2012 08:05 am Yeah these have a few more marks on them but nothing drastic,i'd doubt they would make MS but they are still nice. Report this Post to the Staff

appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 08/27/2012 08:23 am Well yes,what I should have said is I don't think they'd be high MS,probably 62/63 but I don't think they would make 64,maybe a couple would but not really worth the hassle sending them.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/27/2012 10:27 am It was coins of this design that were so different when released into circulation, and fascinated me as a kid enough to initiate my lifelong curiousity in numismatics. Friction rub would knock them down a little, but not by a whole grade. Difficult to find in High MS, due to those large flat field areas of the reverse. Appleange107: These coins would conform to Uncirculated, because I cannot really see wear in the pictures as presented. Trouble is, people like you and me start looking at them with a high power loupe, and end up discovering all of those tiny little dings! What you have here is a rather nice group of RV Florins, well worth having. Report this Post to the Staff
