No, I'm not sure. I don't really know enough about them. Was ths first question I asked the auctioneer. He assurred me it was, but he didn't really know. Thus, the low bid.I've sent a pic off to a numinastics expert, so hopefully I'll get an answer back early next week. It's the first time I have seen coins up for auction at this place. This was part of a lot of coins on offer, they all seem to have been removed from circulation, the old guy that owned them seemed to have a eye for what was worth something and put it aside. I also picked up bag of 5 florins for $15.00, and a whole heap of GeorgeV threepences.I got everything I put an absentee bid on, which tells me that there were no collectors at this auction.

Just did a little research, I'm about 85% sure it's genuine. The King has a pointy nose, there is a little fold on the bottom of the king's cloak, there is a streamer behind the rider's shoulder, the front streamer nearly pokes the rider in the eye, the horse has a fat belly, the dot between the "A" & "M" is oval, and the rider's hand is intact. I have a few little concerns in regard to detail of the King's crown,the lack of fishtailing of the "A&M" and the direction of the dot between, but that could just be a different die and wear.  |

I do not know enough about them to help. I know there are a few members who definetely could. I think it would be worth taking somw clear shots of the coin and starting a new topic for it. I hope its real. Its a great buy if it is. Spunds like you did pretty well on the other stuff as well. Silver below melt is always good!

Thanks for the advice, Enworb. And in an endeavour to get the thread I railroaded back on track, here is my $3.00 1963 Florin!. The bottom part of the reverse looks like an elephant sat on it...   |
