    What should I look for with Aussie (1937) crowns when it comes to grading? i.e. high points etc.

    cheers.

    The main thing I look for with crowns (high points) on the reverse is the 'ORB' on top of the crown. There is a cross on the orb. Not the cross on top. Is it a full cross or worn.
    Also there is a line of pearls in a band running down from the orb to the base band of the crown. The bottom pearl wears first and so on up the line.
    There are a few other points but this will give you a headstart. ;)
    On the obverse, (Bust side) the top of the ear.is the high point.
    useful reading http://www.cruzis-coins.com/florins/37.html

    Also if you use the search function on silver stackers, type in crown, you will find info on this as it has been covered before.
