Didnt you come on here trying to sell the Florin about eighteen months ago ?
If not it must of been someone else who had it previously, however the comments will be the same.
The florin is way overpriced and unfortunately for yourself the members on here have a good idea of value.
To repeat myself from months ago even if the coin was problem free the cgs price is only £50.
Your own coin in the opinion of the grading company has been cleaned so will be worth even less.
Maybe you are asking a little to much
Yes thats the one Peck a big thing in a box
It would probably sell on ebay Stuart for £20 all in but not worth anymore Mr Gouby has been selling them for years ,the more expensive one is much better and although only goes up to 1901 all of the dates after are covered in other books.
I think your last comment is the one and you have nailed it.
People clean them sometimes to increase the value for unsuspecting people who cant tell.
The guy who was repairing them all in America for dealers and no doubt the grading companies doing it so people can try to sell them for more.
If someone wants to mess about with a coin thats up to them.
The problem is more often than not they either deny doing it or dont mention it when selling one.
The companies you mention offer the service but dont put it on the holder which is exactly the same.
If its right to do it what is everyone hiding ?.
Definately a good buy to put away,but i think as Jon says a bit soon perhaps yet.
Not everyone will of bought one though (just all the forum ) and some were better than others , good luck and hope they sell for you tomorrow
