Hi, Acquired recently a lot of pre florins and a couple of them were in pretty good condition compared to the rest, since I only recently started getting interested by the pre decimal coins I'm still not very familiar with them, would you be able to tell if the below coins have any potential numismatic value compared to the completely worn ones that we usually get in hand ? Cheers 1913 1914 1923 1933
I'm not an expert, but I do collect Florins and own quite a few of them. First two here are obviously cleaned and they all are in probably Fine grade max. The book says that only '13 and '33 have any value in them in that grade. So they probably worth ~ $50 each. Now the problem is to find a buyer for them. What I find is that buy/sell prices for numi Florins have a huge spread. May be try fleeBay? I personally wouldn't buy them in that shape, may be only for $10 each, but that's not what you want I guess. I believe there are much more knowledgeable people here that might give better advice.
Thanks mate, not interested in selling for the time being, was more thinking of starting my own collection and wanted to have a better understanding on how the condition/grading or the year(mintage) could have an impact on the premiums
wow that was exactly what I was about to type. except to point out that I massively stack florins as they are cheap silver and the numi market is so depressed atm they are cheap to collect in that grade.
I am with Serial. I stack florins too and could never understand the premiums for round 50's, when I have had a fair bit of luck getting pre/post florins at spot and they are older... Go for it Kam-L - have fun
This is a good reference for grading, you can see pretty clearly where they sit. http://www.anda.com.au/documents/resource/00114_Pt 2 - Grading Commonwealth coins.pdf Between Good and Fine I would say.
