harry90210 New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 10:25 am Picked up this one recently. Passed neo magnet test. Weight about 28g. Any idea what it's worth? As I'm new to collecting I don't know much about grades. And does it look genuine? Report this Post to the Staff

Not in the best condition - it's really worth spending more on a better example as they are common - but it's a nice hunk of silver to hold so if you are new it's nice to have.

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 2:21 pm I sell a lot of stuff like that and in that condition they make 20 to 25 quid all day long, I buy them in at between 12 to 16 quid to sell on.

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 2:28 pm Just as an after thought if your new to collecting and it is mainly silver you are going for (good call) try and go for Edward VII stuff - Florins, half crowns and shillings. With Victoria try and go for the young head coins or get yourself a few of the double florins in better condition, these seem to be drying up a little, used to get quite a few but not had many just of late.

harry90210 New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 09/10/2013 11:39 am Thanks for the replies. Great to hear that. I probably won't sell this one. Will try to look out for a Victoria/Edward florin or 1/2 crown next. Probably not a high grade as they're too expensive for me. Report this Post to the Staff
