Kermit New Member Australia 32 Posts	Posted 05/14/2014 9:06 pm Morning All. I was wondering what grade this 1951 Florin would be, and an approximate value. I have two of these in pretty much similar condition. Apologies for the photo quality. My scanner is on the fritz. Thanks in Advance.

The obverse on your coin is stunning,the spot on the reverse is a bit of a worry. Overall it's a beautiful coin & as a raw coin you'd probably get $25/$30 for it. Report this Post to the Staff
Kermit New Member Australia 32 Posts	Posted 05/14/2014 9:41 pm Thanks for that. Yeah I am annoyed at the spot on the reverse. If it wasnt there it would be a perfect coin! Is there any way to remove it without damaging the coin? Edited by Kermit 05/14/2014 9:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
