serial Pillar of the Community Australia 539 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 02:09 am I got these in a bulk lot today and wanted to get opinions on values/grade? I am not to good on shilling strikes versus florins note the 1935 is cleaned but it has wicked details 1936 is covered in lustre and hasn't been cleaned as far as I know Report this Post to the Staff

oh my florin Pillar of the Community Australia 1006 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 02:32 am Hey serial the 1935 has indeed been cleaned and appears around gVF to aEF? and in my honest opinion the 36 also appears to have been cleaned the "lustre" appears to be very lifeless (tho it may just appear to be as such in the photo?) and appears to be around gVF to aEF?. The other coins appear to be in the VF range and probably only worth melt a lot of the later dates unless in CHUNC or GEM aren't worth a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
serial Pillar of the Community Australia 539 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 03:21 am your right OMF I do need to take better pics i am just not capturing the lustre on the coins but I assure you they cartwheel nicely and are covered in lustre (except of course the 35 it is lifeless) Report this Post to the Staff
oh my florin Pillar of the Community Australia 1006 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 03:39 am Well based on your word I would happily say that the coin hasn't been cleaned and your photos are honestly very good for grading but it is exceptionally hard to take a photo that convey's the lustre of a coin and it has happened a number of times where cleaned coins have appeared to look original purely from the angle and conditions the photo has been taken from. Otherwise a good lot of silver there would you mind if I asked how much they cost? Report this Post to the Staff
serial Pillar of the Community Australia 539 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 03:51 am I got them with a few others including some unc 60/61s and well worn 17/14. all up $20 for the shillings i am happy with my purchase. most importantly the 35, 36 and 26 I got will be upgrades in my shilling set. I am trying to put a complete predecimal silver coins XF plus set together. proving to be harder than I thought but I am slowly upgrading the coins Report this Post to the Staff
