jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 08/13/2013 11:27 am Hi, not usually a collector of Australian coins, but I found this one recently and paid a little over silver value for it ($22). Pretty much bought it for the silver then looked it up at home and saw this was a better date. I was wondering if I could get some idea on the grade and realistic value of this coin...

oh my florin Pillar of the Community Australia 1006 Posts	Posted 08/13/2013 5:55 pm Well in my oppinion it is VF and has a catalog price of approximately $200 (based of 2011 mcdonalds guide and a bit of an increase) and if you were selling it you should be able to get more than $100. Good coin nevertheless Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 08/13/2013 6:33 pm I would check its dimensions to make sure it's real (there's nothing that screams fake to me but for the price you got it it's worth checking). Report this Post to the Staff
appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 08/13/2013 7:36 pm It is genuine & an absolute bargain at $22, few heavy contacts but still worth between $100 to $140 on a good day. Great find jdmern. & about VF would be right for the grade. Edited by appleangel07 08/13/2013 7:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 08/13/2013 8:05 pm I have to say, I've been checking out some Australia and New Zealand coins since I've picked this up, there are some really nice coins you guys have down there, I might be starting a few new collections, especially the old silver... Here in the U.S., there are quite a few of the old silver coins I can pick up for a bit over bullion, especially in antique shops...

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 08/16/2013 01:55 am If you doubt it's authenticity, compare ring tone it against a '37. Report this Post to the Staff
