Its the nicest looking coin I have, but given I know very little about coins, I can only assume its been polished. Looks too good to be true. Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 11/28/2013 07:54 am Its really hard to tell from the colour in those photos. I am leaning towards it being lustre and not a polished coin but I cant tell for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
Lincoln2403 New Member Australia 36 Posts	Posted 11/28/2013 08:17 am Thanks enworb, I hope youre right. Sorry, about the photos, but its a very good representation atleast of the colour. Very golden and reflective, which is consistent over the entire coin, and not just in the center. Is it worth slabbing a coin like this? Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 11/28/2013 4:44 pm Its a reasonably common date in UNC. The cost of slabbing would eat into most of the value. Report this Post to the Staff
oh my florin Pillar of the Community Australia 1006 Posts	Posted 11/28/2013 7:23 pm I agree with enworb unless it made MS64 I think it wouldn't really be worth it Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/28/2013 9:10 pm I am inclined to think that this coin has not been polished, because the fields in between the lettering are of the same colour as the rest of the coin. The coin does look brassy rather than bronze, but that could just be due the to the lighting. Report this Post to the Staff
