Canberra Florins

OK.
What about these 2.
just some quick pics this time.

I bought a Kilo of these at melt price early in the year when silver was at about $15.50-$16 I think, They are all polished and look fantastic from a distance
Strangely enough many Canberra florins ( and the 51 54 florins) have been hoarded as bullion and have been treated as such, Putting silver coins through a Shell tumbler to clean them up to make them "Presentable" is not that uncommon :cray:
The coins that I got in the kilo lot are all ruined numismaticaly But they are a far more attractive option than a bunch of booring Silver bars anyday

:agreed:

Like many others in this thread this is one of my favorite coins. We have collected a few of these so far and this is my favorite. Maybe not the best grade, no steps and a scratch under the king. I had to take the picture on an angle to try and catch some of the colour.

Nice,its amazing to see the toning variations on these Coins,varies from a Dogs Breakfast to stunning.

Don't be sorry mate, it only cost me $5, so it was worth grabbing.
Melt is about $7 I think. I grabbed 3 of them.  
How do you tell it's been polished.

 I need 2 Steve and I will offer you $ 10.00 ea for them if you have any left over .

If you are prepared to spend an extra $5-$10 an each coin  you should Still with a little patience find a couple of decent examples on eBay in EF-AU condition Kel :good:

Your coin does look rather nice
Imaging the toning on coins is very difficult, Markn is very skilled at this from the images of His that I have seen :good:

not for my grand kids Jim , they are not interested anymore , but yes for my kids when I go , and  as you said before , enjoy what you have and collect now , don't worry about the value of them later on , who cares what happens to them when I go , just enjoy them now .
I have just decided to follow my path now and enjoy what I have while I am still here ....

I tried to get a couple of shots of My Proof Like Canberra But I am finding it tough to get a good image without the glare from the lights :dash1:
I have also added a couple of shots of the die polishing lines.

Nice!!

I'm still a bit Dirty on PCGS for not giving this coin a "PL" designation when I sent it back for "Reconsideration".
They have it as "Proof Like" as a Pedigree so I really can't see the drama giving it a PL designation when I sent it back :dash1:
