enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 11/02/2012 05:08 am Having a second look I think its closer to aEF than EF. There also seems to be several light parallel hairlines on the obverse. Most noticeably at the G in George but around most of the legend. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/02/2012 05:38 am Very desirable and scarce coin. Grading wise, I agree with enworb. This would be a good coin to build a pre decimal type set with, each type represented with a scarce date. Things like this '33 shilling, then a '32 florin, a Centenary florin, a '46 penny, a '25 penny, a plain '42 threepence and including a full 1910 silver sub type set. I completed a type set like this, many years ago. A rather obtuse way to collect, I suppose. Saves having to bother with the common date coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Sounds like a unique way of collecting and an interesting concept. I have all them coins in not so flash grade minus the 34-35 florin ( I traded that for some nice commemorative florins I actually like ). I do rather like getting a full date set of everything I collect, so that concept may come at a later date when I finally finish upgrading what I have This coin looks to be Ef with a hint of a dip/scrub at some stage. It is by far a better coin than the scabby 1933 shilling I have at the moment. Nice coin Steve I am going to have to buy myself a balaclava and raid your collection. You have some stunning coins Mate Report this Post to the Staff
