PCGS submissions, Grading Opinions

[autocoupler]

Not bad for VF - EF. IMO the emu doesn't appear have any wear, rims are OK,and the reverse has lustre. Bad luck about the bagging on the obverse, but the hair looks OK. My guess, MS60.

au58 i reckon

AU55, that ding on the kings nose will have held it back.

Well that was a good result considering the outlay

PR63. Did the seller know it was proof? (or proof-like, long running debate over what constitutes a proof for these florins)
Edit to add, I'm surprised that the population report hasn't included your coin (but the image for your coin is on the population report page).

they should have they were a coin dealer. plus like you said a lot of dealers are in denial as to the existence of proof like or proof strikes so they don't recognise them and sell them as such but this coin in hand is clearly different to other strikes.
I paid the most I ever have for a raw coin when I bought this and I must have looked at 1000 odd coins in the last 3 months to find this one, it is hard to believe there are some many 34/35 florins available on the market today! whats more it is harder to find a problem free xf or lower coin than an aUnc coin. au55ish seems to be where most of them have ended up

to see the difference I would suggest bringing up the picture on the pop report of the ms66 and this coin and putting them side by side on your screen then you will start to see the depth of strike and detail difference.

Well done Jim .That's a nice start to a high level proof set.Have you put any
thought into starting a PCGS registry set?

One of my last submissions was my set of 2001 Federation Proof 50 and 20 cent coins along with a couple of  other proof coins.
As these were marketed in individual capsules instead of the giant "Slab" that has stayed from 1969 until now ( It changed this year) I am hoping for some nice grades on these :angel:

I should find out in the next few days :yahoo:

These came out OK
Submission number 5089473 on the shared submissions page

[wwwww]

Anyone care to guess the grade on this?

[stevo1962]

I'll say it's MS66BN  but more likely  65BN
