New Purchases: 1946 Flatback Florin And A 1935 Threepence

Some more recent acquisitions of mine




A 1946 flatback Florin - this was in the style of the 1947 onwards ones and had a Kiwi with the flat back, 5 whiskers instead of four and a flatter rim than 1933 - 1946 Round back coins. This coin is good VF (We grade HARD here in New Zealand).




A 1935 Threepence, this is a rarity of New Zealand coins and apart from the 1935 Waitangi crown and some varieties the rarest coin most people will buy.

Just 40,364 minted as a business strike in early 1936 to satisfy a demand for 364 Proof sets, the mint insisted on there being at least £500 worth of standard coins minted as well. These circulated and are very rare (All other date 3d's are 800k to 10 million each year).

This coin is cleaned and gFine at best.
