Rob Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) It's better than VF. The seller gives it gVF, but I think it might be EF in the hand. The big danger is that it could have been cleaned which is not certain from the images. It's quite a decent coin for wear though. Edited January 23, 2010 by Rob Quote

Prices are nice if you own a lot of these victorian florins. Quote

I think that's a fair price tbh. Quote
Red Riley Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Yes but... compare the wear on the plaits which is where they go first. I think what you are comparing here is a coin in NEF or EF with one that is probably NVF. By my reckoning the e-bay coin is likely to be the better bet and I don't think £90 is that outrageous for what looks like quite a nice coin. Quote

Take any checkpoint you like, you will see more wear (with the possible exception of the legend). Quote
£400 for a Penny ? Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Pretty odd 'blue bit' on the obverse ?Previously enamelled, now cleaned ? Quote
