Canberra Florins

[ausjack]

Still a hell of a lot better than the couple I have in my collection that most look like road kill but I'm just happy I have a few, and remember we're talking about a coin that's near 90 years old :winkextra:

[robbiegal]

yeah I'd agree Basil
I think the old two bob has been slid across many a shop counter

Here is another New acquisition.
A nice AU coin with a great set of steps :good:
This coin was sourced from Portugal

Slab it see what real grade it is

Why on earth would I want to get an AU58 coin Graded by PCGS???
This is a rather well struck coin But it does have some wear on the high points making it AU58.
Having said that , I would rather have a well struck AU58 coin in preference to a weakly struck MS62 anyday :ok:

[runway]

Probably same reason anybody would get a coin slabbed

Tell you what, You pay for every one of my AU55-58 Canberra florins to be graded and I will send them in.
You had better talk to your Bank Manager first tho :angel:

Question is why do you have so many and what you going to do with them ?

I LIKE them and I have been collecting them for years.
Every one of them is different and individual in one way or another.

[robbiegal]

that is why some people collect
because they enjoy their collection

not all are just after value and 'investment'
which of course makes us poorer!!

what do you collect runway?

To answer you question "what do I do with them".
I have a good look at every new arrival then I either put them in a 2x2/saflip then add them to an album.
If they are really nice/special  I get them slabbed.
I have probebly sold a dozen or so and given away 50 or so to fellow collectors.

Some people specialise in collecting 1964 penny's ,  The 1927 Canberra Florin is my "Thing' :ok:

aaaaahhhhhh the 1964 penny  :heart:
