Just seen this florin advertised - Does it look genuine and would you expect the die crack (or flaw in the LH upper corner) to increase the price ?

What do you think its worth in the current condition?

Die crack - Don't believe it increases prices, but some do pay more for them

Original - Looks OK on the surface but this is not my stronger areas of coinage.

Also appears to be a something between T and O at the top, could be a reflection or could be another flaw. What is the reverse like ? or would that give away too much.

Edit - There appears to be some cud on the LHS rim as well.
 
Looks ok to me, I have one of these with a die crack on both sides but in different spots. On mine the crack runs through the REX on the obv. and on the rev it starts at the ONE through FLORIN and into AUSTRALIA. So I think there must be a few out there you just don't hear about them very often, not like the coppers anyway. Just remember there were 2 MIL of these minted so they would have had to have several sets of die's to get through that many. Nice coin though :)
 
I've seen of one of these today in an absolute mint condition.what would that worth?
