sweetap Valued Member Australia 301 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 05:38 am Hi guys I am looking at attempting to purchase this Florin. It looks genuine to my unskilled eye, the seller claims the reverse to be extremely fine. I think there a few to many pit marks for that grade but like I said I'm no expert as you all know. It is hard to tell if its been cleaned from these pics but there the only pics available, to me it looks as if its been cleaned. He sells a lot of coins and is called coinsallcoins , Standard questions grade and value , he says cat value is $300 I feel that's hi for this but it is an oldie. Star is good emu has wear pits and scratching fairly evident 6 pearl near full diamond. What you think. All help is much appreciated. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 07:17 am I would have to grade this one in good Fine condition, because the high points of the design have flat areas around them. Obverse 6 pearls. For a $300 coin, it would have to be at least a bit better than VF. My Renniks 24th ed. publ. 2011 lists this coin at $125 in VF. Report this Post to the Staff

Do you think it has been cleaned?. Thank you very much for your reply it is much appreciated and gives me comfort now when I put my final bid in. Report this Post to the Staff
