joeysanders627 Valued Member United States 408 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 01:32 am I would like to have the community grade these two coins. Thank you. 1942 One Florin 1944 Sixpence Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 03:07 am They are very clean for the amount of wear, which is suspicious. On the sixpence especially, I can see lines above and below the reverse legend separating cleaned/polished from uncleaned between the letters. Also, they seem from the pics to be very dead with almost no lustre at all. I'm going to guess (almost a complete guess) that both are F-VF Details Cleaned?

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 08:32 am Whose grading standards do you want, US or non-US? US standards would probably grade them Fine. Non-US standards would probably grade them VG. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 2:51 pm with Kanga on the grades, but these look very dull and may have had several dippings, or a very long dip, either of which has eaten away so much of the surface metal that they appear very dull and lifeless. Probably hard coins to resell, if you ever intend to do so. Report this Post to the Staff
joeysanders627 Valued Member United States 408 Posts	Posted 12/22/2016 10:42 pm I don't feel bad. I got both of them for dirt cheap, so I am not complaining. You definitely proved my suspicions about why they looked so dull. Thank you guys for the input. Report this Post to the Staff
trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 12/22/2016 11:21 pm Lots of Wear and dipped for certain But all is not lost. The pre decimal NZ coins have great designs on them and as you didn't pay too much for these then NO real harm done. Try and see if you can get the 1/2d, 1d, 3d 1s and the half crown for the same sort of prices and you will have a circulated type set of NZ pre decimals with great designs at a bargain price Report this Post to the Staff
