Sylvester Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 What's your favourite?Mine would have to be the Guinea.Don't collect them but i do like them.Syl. Quote
william Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Hi Sylvester,My favourite coin is definitley the gothic/godless florins. Also the gothic crown. They are very expensive in top grades though (i am 11 and get £2 a week! ). i can afford low grade gothic florins. I have never bought a godless florin or gothic crown though. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 I have this Godless Florin for £95.00, but that would take you almost a year to save up for!I do have 2 lower grade gothic florins William, are you looking out for any more? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 There a fabulous specimen on Ebay a la moment. At 19:30 is had 36 bids at £1445. Picture is attached: Quote

Chris Perkins Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 One of them was 1883 NF with better rev, and it was in the last newsletter. £8.00 to you. (was £11.00 in newsletter)The other is not much better than poor, and dated 1859, so a quite early one. You can have it for £1.20, how's that? Quote
Geoff T Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 What Oli has illustrated is actually a gothic crown - it can't be a florin with the date 1847. Still something to drool over though. (Just found it on eBay and, yes, it's a crown).Geoff Quote

Chris Perkins Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Ah we all knew that, the date's not even in the right place for a florin. Quote

Sylvester Posted February 21, 2004 Author Posted February 21, 2004 I've met one of those Gothic Crowns in the flesh...Absolute beauties! Quote
