I betcha that you may know a bit more how to grade the Canberra PH florin than PCGS! No wear on this one. Has to grade some sort of MS Not the earliest of strikes of the dies. Good definition on George's beard and hair, but not the best, but No wear. No wear on the mace heads (rev.) One or two light scuffs and small nicks, MS62 or 3. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't know about that, I sent 6 of these into PCGS and the results were 4x AU58 1x MS61 and 1x MS63. They ALL looked MS to me Edited by trout1105 12/26/2013 10:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 07:37 am I am sure Greg McDonald would love the publicity! I have spoken to him a number of times at coin shows, over the years. Pictures of the whole coin not as sharp as the die polishing detail you have shown. There seems to be a flat area on Georgie's sideburns. Can't make up my mind if that is due a a weak strike or wear, the rest of the coin looks much less 'worn' than that, the bands on the mace heads seem to have NO wear. This one is going to be a bit of a guess: MS62. Report this Post to the Staff

This one is going to be a bit of a guess: MS62. Greg is a good bloke so NO problems there Sel I recon this is MS 63 at least despite fears of a bad dip. I will send it off to PCGS and let them give the judgment call. I have better examples in my collection and I doubt that they will ever leave their respective 2x2 flips, I am only playing with some of my many spares of this example Report this Post to the Staff
