1937 Proof florin

Recommended Posts

i like a little Ebay flutter now and again, in fact its pretty much where i buy all my coins form these days, picked up this nice 1937 proof florin for just under a score, i was the only bidder, has a few marks on the obverse but its better than the one have already, my pictures don't do it justice

There are two varieties of 1937 proof florin.  The 2nd I in SHILLING on the reverse either points to a tooth or a space.

The two types are in in Davies (2070 & 2071), although at that time the 2071 proof was unconfirmed.

Davies is a reference to "British Silver Coins Since 1816" by Peter J. Davies.  If you want a copy, Rob (rpcoins.co.uk) may have it in stock or you could look on eBay.
