:wavemulticolor: i love florin rolls ,i have noticed there's been a few 1946 rolls floating around out there atm , i just love opening florin rolls and looking for a ms66 or better lol, no luck so far tho.
1946 can have some awesome reverse die cracks.
I bought this one from eBay, apparently it is from a roll:

Is that the shattered windscreen effect accumulator?
What a cracker!
What a cracker ! hahaha, it is a bit like a cracked windscreen.
I heard quite a few of these 46 rolls turned up in a hoard a little while back. I find it unusual that such old rolls would be found in quantities still.

I think I need to get better lighting, the only way I could get a (half) decent shot of my coin was to take it outside.
:cool:

If you do open it, do it carefully so as to hang onto the roll. Its a treasure all on its own.
yeah ya might get a few bucks for it..and remember ya gloves :)
Robbiegal do you know roughly when it was?

no date
1943 florins
The San Francisco mint issue, despite the lower
mintage is a easier coin to acquire in
mint state due to the abundance of
mint rolls surfacing from the Vienna hoard. While a number of examples are available in MS65, sourcing one can be quite a challenge with most locked away in private collections.
I'll assume Enworb and Robbie are talking about the "Vienna Hoard". It was sold off in the late 1980's by Downies if I remember correctly. There were a number of ACR's of the period with advertisements to buy coins/rolls from the hoard. The rolls (mostly mid 40's silver) were hoarded by an immigrant Jewish jeweller during and after WW2. And the said jeweller was from *drum roll* Vienna, Austria.
Thats the one thanks mark. Id heard the name but didnt realise the story behind it or that it was actually 30 years ago.
the 1944 S roll/s that shows up in the rolls around here in the local auctions - are also touted as being from the from that Vienna hoard
you been talking to your self again RG :blush2: sorry I wanna be good :give_heart:
thanx
fixed it!!
