Sorry Swanny I'm even more jealous, didn't think the goth crown existed outside of museums and myth. As a Crown fan it has gone to number 1.

Thanks.  I wish that I had a few more Ed VII florins as good as this one.

Steely shades of blue-grey, already wishing I had held on to my 1919 that was like that

Well, my pictures are awful at the moment. This is the CGS picture which really shows how the toning looks in hand.

I think I have said this before about this coin "It is a beauty" and for me sums up what coin collecting is about. Wish I had it.

Thought it was as good to post here.

Mark rasmussen has a large collection of shillings / florins in his new list.

Might be of interest to people reading this thread.

Pete.

I received the catalogue today also, pouring over it now - plenty of missing types for me to consider!
