1915 Florin - R2?

Recommended Posts

Bull / ESC have this listed as R2, which doesn't seem to be reflected in Spink or realised sale prices. Probably an error?

Anyway, here's my only example, not particularly high grade.

I don't know this variety. What am I looking for that's different to the normal one?

The original ESC listed them as S which seems about right.  Here's my example that sold recently.

Still waiting to know what this variety is - I thought there was only one type of 1915 florin?

Standard type, just querying the rarity rating?

Yes, just a standard one type only to the best of my knowledge. At one time there was rather a shortage of the 1915 in uncirculated (OK, GEF for the oldies) and it still IMO merits an "S" although some arguments for an "R". Not an R2 however.

I really meant to get the latest Bull to see if he corrected some of the shortcomings, esp. the so-called VIP proofs of the 1920-1966 period; I had talked with Steve Hill and he was in agreement with some of my thoughts on these...

Weird. It's rated more scarce than 1914 (lower mintage) but much less than 1911-1913. I am very surprised by the Bull rating, but maybe it's an error?
