Title: Yet another Canberra Florin
Post by: trout on January 02, 2016, 08:38:25 AM
I sent this one away a Month or so ago.
I should get the grade in the next week or so.
It is nicely toned with lovely underlying lustre and the obverse isn't too badly Bagged up which is normally the case with this coin type.
Grading opinions Welcomed :good:

It has been with PCGS since 1/12/15, So it shouldn't be too much longer before I get the grade for this.
It may take a bit longer due to the festive season holidays though.
The coin has a nice purple tone and it is a shame I didn't capture that when I took these rushed images :dash1:
The strike isn't that flash , only 2 steps and the Kings ear isn't perfect But overall it is quite pleasing to look at :)

Nice one Troutski!

Are they die cracks along the top of the obverse legend (on and off from D.G. through F.D.) ?

QuoteWhat is your "Pet" project?

Wedding set coins.

QuotePlus I recently purchased a 1917 penny error (flip over double struck)and the image on their website shows their stupid black plastic thing

This is the reason why I refused to use the "Secure" option when submitting my coins.
They call this a "Mechanical error" I call it a Stuff Up.
They have now fixed all that up and for the extra $5 you now get these types of images :good:
