Actually Trout, I think it might be a different coin, I paid $329 Numisbid. Beautiful strike with full steps and all the rest of it but think we might be on different pages here.

Thank you gentlemen, please explain why this coin is so important it went for 9 times the estimate... for the same price you would have bought a MS65 OR a Gem Unc 1927 Florin. Sorry for the dumb questions...:idea:

This coin may not be super interesting to most collectors but to a Canberra fancier it really stands out.
In my personal experience it is harder to find a FULLY struck Canberra florin than to find a coin in MS64 that isn't struck as well.

Next time you look at some Canberra florins check out the "Steps" I think you will find it quite hard to find a full 3 stepper, let alone one in MS64 or better.
The coin that proof27 has would only grade at AU55-58 in my opinion but the superb strike on this coin is what makes it so desirable to certain collectors.
Also the beautiful toning is the "Icing" on the cake :drooling:

Thanks Trout...

Back to the topic, do you have registry sets in NGC or PCGS ?

I've seen plenty of coins go for way over and way under estimate on numisbid, like Trout said, hard to find one so well struck with full 3 steps. I would of kept going with price if needed. I have a MS64+ Canberra and think this aUnc one is nicer. Each to there own I guess.

:dodgy: mark my words ,i will catch those buggas one day,:idea: it most likely take me 40years tho

I was thinking the same... If you look at what Timbertop and M have, it would take a life time or $$$$$$ to get there :idea:

Good luck anyway mate, you have some good stuff there too..:good:

Whose lifetime?:dodgy::mafia:
There are so many top of the pops coins in those 2 collections that the only way we mere mortals will make it to the top is if those chaps shuffle off and their collections come onto the market. Even then $$$$$ won't be enough, more like $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$(plus 1) as there are more collectors of slabs now than when those collections were assembled so belly etc will have to fight over those big sales on a coin by coin punchup.

You are not wrong, Timbertop has the 1934/35 Florin MS67 + numerous other TOP. Unless these guys have had enough collecting coins, there is no hope for us :yahoo: even then there will be so much competition it will cost an arm and a leg to buy one let alone a collection of that caliber ..

I admire these very nice collections.. but i doubt I will ever be able to afford them .... Unless I win Lotto :blush:

Have a look at some of the sets, there are a lot of other collectors (outside of the M and timertop) out there that have amazing sets, emu springs to mind, without most of them spending $10k on a single 1950's silver coin which graded 67.

For mine the most interesting sets are the 1966 proof, 2001 centenary of federation, halfpenny and penny full sets as well as the 1955-63 proof set. Of course to complete those sets requires very different funds, the 1966 proof set isn't an expensive exercise though (as an example). There are lots of collectors who to different levels are trying to create sets, of course all wont have the funds to get the top pop set, however, there are some nice sets none the less and some very nice coins.

there's no harm in dreaming :angel: ,  i am happy just to pickup 1 or 2  florins a year , i would even settle for any MS in the George V series .I try and  look at raw coins tho , my main focus at the moment is my 1955 to 63 proof set , pr66 and up for the silvers and happy with second and third tier for the coppers .
1955 and 56 Perth's are the killers  but achievable
