1960 florin proof or not?

[serial]

So I bought this coin a while ago in a bulk lot from a coin dealer at a coin show for spot. It went into a file that I only recently went through and I saw this one. I am thinking proof?
thoughts?
sorry about the poor quality pics but it is a bit overcast here today

looks proof to  me :ok:
It has  squared rims with wire lines  on rims ,mirror finish ,rounded beads and denticles  , the only thing i can't see is the queen's hair fringe isn't touching her  forehead tho   might be angle of photo

Hair line looks to be touching to me

[serial]

Yeh its touching, just an average picture
I am tossing up if I should get it graded or not. A few hairlines on Lizzie's side will see it knocked down a bit

[bellyflorin]

My guess it would go pr64 maybe a pr65

Not bad for $2.50
I bought a couple of sheets of post 46 florins from a coin dealer and this was in with them

lol Robbie, I wish, I just don't post up my many stuff ups.
I see it as a numbers game, 10 loss's made up by 1 win.
plus it is more like treasure hunting to buy boxes of coins unsorted and see what's in them. I have purchased many a box of coins unopened at auctions/garage sales
plus it means my collections gets diverse and interesting
I actually found a 1923 1/2d in a bag of coins bought at a garage sale that the kids had been playing house with for several years.
only cost me $5 and if I didn't buy it them it was going into the bin (I was told this after I bought it!)
was mighty fun to noodle when I got home that night

What a great pickup Serial!

(And thanks Belly for the identification info :good: ..... I unfortunately had to part with my 1960 & 1963 proof sets back in my 1992 financial collapse :cray:).

I've never had that kind of luck at garage sales. Good work!

I don't think "Luck" comes into it , I think it is a case of persistance and a a heap of effort and work.
Well done Serial :good:
