Title: Die cracks on Canberra florins
Post by: trout on November 24, 2012, 11:30:25 AM
Die cracks on canberra florins are fairly easy to find on the obverse.
I found this one with die cracks on the reverse.
On the "HOUSE" at the top of the coin.

Sellers pic ( I havent received it yet)

Nice one trout! was it listed as a die crack or did you just see it without the seller realising?

I'll put it under the usb gizmo when it arrives and post a couple of pics.
It also has the usual die cracks on the obverse.

It looks like it should be an EF/AU coin, realy worn die (NO steps) the lettering dosn't seem to have taken too many hits and the orbs look OK.
I recon may go EF/ AU55, A few faint scratches on the obverse (I hope it hasn't been cleaned) But the die cracks on the reverse are unusual :good:
