    Honestly, I don't know the rarity.
    It seems you can pick them up easy enough, but the premium is hefty for good ones. :)

    All the three coins look to be in very nice condition for their age, especially the Escudo, you must have paid a fortune for them :)

    Very subjective - guessing EF and aUNC. Good wreaths on both, the lower one is a standout for the price I paid. Saw $850 examples that were lower grades. Think I poured over every centenary florin at ANDA and ended up with these two. Buying in the last hour of the show on the last day helps :p

    Considering getting the better one slabbed by PCGS for the experience.
