We were going through my partners coin collection and have so far come accross these 2 coins. Firstly we have a 1964 Penny with a ramstrike and what looks like fading on the print.(is that called brockerage?) Secondly there is a 1931 Florin with a large crack/surface fischer on one side and many hairline lines on the face side. Completely unsure if this is just to age and deterioration after being minted or if was a genuine flaw to the coin. Rubbish coin or genuine, I have no idea. Please see pics Report this Post to the Staff

Used to be fairly commonly available in dealers' junk bins 30 years ago, but not now. A real .925 silver two bob had considerable buying power, and the counterfeiters in the Great Depression were often tempted. Report this Post to the Staff
