  1. That's a shame. Yes, I would have been interested as I don't have an example of one of the rarer Elizabeth II florins (1954, 1957/58/59). I would say £25 is conservative; scarce UNC 50s florins and halfcrowns were massively hyped in the late 60s, but florins continued to circulate until 1992 so the scarce UNC dates are indeed rarer than the equivalent halfcrowns, and now their values are AT LEAST 50% higher than the halfcrowns. The main reason for the rarity is that no-one collected the early years of CuNi as there was no silver content, unlike Geo VI which were put aside in large quantities, especially after the metal change was announced postwar; this is why 1944-46 are so common in BU. If you've got similar 1950s florins, let me know the dates and I might be interested!

  2. PMD? - if you look very carefully there are marks on the O at the top, and there also appears to be some faint marking on the G bottom, and the scratch seems to have been deflected by the curve of the G. What's more, the scratch inside the G seems lighter than the scratch across the portrait. If the damage had been present before striking, you would expect to see consistency either side of the legend.

  5. New variety Edward I 1301-1310 Farthing for me (sellers pics). The slightly rarer Withers Type 28 (maybe 28c - will check ?apostrophe after REX when it’s delivered), North Class 10 [N1058], with Crown M (Blunt).

  6. It is the response you give when offered an extremely rare 1967 penny for no more than a few pounds.
