Pre-Decimal silver coins

[Coins from Vending]

I have noticed and bought quite a few cheapish Florins and the condition of the coin is extremely clean, very shiny lots of bling.

Now I am having troubles trying to accept that these 60 year old plus coins sold as raw coins could be in such good condition.

Soooooo

what has been done to them to have them appear so shiny?

I can tell a typically cleaned coin as the rim is still dirty as is between the lettering around the rim. Something is a miss as they look like polished silver?

Perhaps pulled from a roll that had been stored away.?

The only thing wrong with that coin is a little bit of fiction/rub from being in a loose-ish roll & a coin strike on the roo,otherwise very nice with full lustre.

that isn't that good a price, I just looked it up and I think you could get a slabbed ms63 or higher for that price

Great looking coin, but I do like a Florin.
