Some one will jump in and correct me if I'm wrong but the Australian grading system is a bit different in the respect that the grading system doesn't use numbers.
For example
Very good
Fine
Very fine
Extra fine
aUnc
Unc
Choice Unc
Gem
and
Proof
hope this helps

Seems easier to me than American grading system, I have few rolls of unc and up Mercury dimes and for five month I have brain storms trying to grade them MS60,62,64,65,66....FB... Hope one day I learn enough to grade them without books.

Grading is not a science. Different TPGs will give you different grades on the same coin so I would not lose any sleep over it. I think you are better off sticking with slightly wider bands as nuggethill suggests, than trying to pin point the exact number on the American scale. Even if you do others will disagree.

Both of the coins you pictured were struck at the San Francisco branch of the US Mint. The mint mark on the florin is fairly high and straddles the boundary of the exergue. I do not know if the F44F shows as much variation as the F42F. I only have one specimen of the '44. (The designators I use are F=florin, 44=year, F=San Francisco.) See http://triton.vg/F42.html to see the variations on the '42.
