Ariette Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 06/24/2020 3:27 pm I was browsing through ebay auctions and I came across a lot of two South African florins that was about to end at under melt. Not knowing much about these coins, I placed a bid at a bit over melt value and ended up winning the lot at a very good price, well under what I bid. The coins arrived today, and I found out that this 1925 coin has the lowest mintage of the series at only 50,000. Doing a bit of research on this coin, I read that even in low grades, it may still be valued around $100. Now I doubt I could sell it easily at anywhere near that price, but for the $5 or so I paid for this coin, it's definitely a nice little bonus. Report this Post to the Staff

I did a quick search and found that on a 1925, the tail of the 5 ends above the tail of the 2. On a 1923, the tail of the 3 ends below the tail of the 2. It looks like the tail of the final digit on your coin ends below the tail of the 2. Report this Post to the Staff
