Thanks Jaobler. What was the florin on Heritage going for? Would you recommend getting it graded? I don't have scales for weight although I guess I could go to my local grocery store.
Prices vary with grade obviously. The Heritage coins were all certified by PCGS or NGC and the cheapest I saw was an "uncirculated details, scratched" piece which sold for $282. An MS-62 piece went for $470, MS-63 for $500-$700, MS-64 for $940 and $1880, and an NGC MS-65 went for $1265 which seems like a bargain. However, a lot of 3 uncertified florins grading EF-AU went for $305 back in 2005. That lot included dates 1871, 1884, and 1886. At a guess your piece (which looks like a solid AU by USA standards) might be valued in the $150-200 range, if free of problems.
Apparently counterfeits are a real concern for Gothic florins so it might make sense to have it certified. I'd go with ANACS which is lowest cost and has a solid rep for authentication.
This is a very pretty florin, those clean fields are fantastic. This is easily AU 53 if not higher. No reason at all to think it's a forgery. Good luck.
