Title: 1934-35 Melbourne Centenary florin
Post by: purplepennyhunter on March 18, 2018, 07:03:19 PM
I have upgraded my Centenary florin, same grade but a much nicer coin, strong wreath and mirror proof-like fields. PCGS MS65 perhaps I thought it should have done better than an MS65, it's certainly better in my eyes.

Very nice.
Definitely a cut above most 65s I've seen.

Nice!! Is that a stray nipple I see? Can't be i guess, otherwise it would have been a talking point already. Tell Ya what, send it to me and I'll check it out  :biggrin:

Nice coin but possible very fine criss cross wipe marks on the obverse would be the only thing
that would keep it from grading MS66 that I can see unless they are on the holder

I don't see hairlines, just die polish. Have a look at the big PCGS image (https://www.pcgs.com/Cert/34761370.html).
