MS 64 1916 Florin

[ozjohn]

I've been looking for a MS 1916 for a while as an upgrade to my AU58, the bottom coin. Finally I see one on Ebay Top coin. When I looked carefully at the coin I was truly unimpressed. Although the coin looks to be mint state from the patina but the strike quality lets it down badly. The reverse is similar. Like they say judge the coin not the attributed grade.

Yes, most certainly a worn die. And a truly shocking price which would be way too high even for a good strike UNC example.

Here's a much better example at a reasonable price:
