Hi as the title says I'm a newbie to the forum and coin collecting in general though I have coins from Edward 1st hammered pre decimal coins late modern and a liberty eagle silver dollar I do love silver coins, I like the look of the crowns I have a Victoria 1887 crown, double florin, half crown & shilling I'm looking to get 7 silver coins in that date and proceed down to the next monarch in turn, Just bought a 1849 Godless florin lovely coins couldn't resist I was looking for an 1887 Gothic but couldn't find a good one in my range so bought that instead I then did a search for a 1849 Crown and could not find one did they mint a 1849 Crown as stated I'm a newbie so assumed there would be a Crown for every year ? as you can see my taste are varied what ever catches my eye really, I've included a picture of the Florin if anyone could grade it I'd appreciate it as I have no idea on grades look forward to reading and chatting on the forums
