Very well struck.I couldn't give it UNC because it has dipped its toe in early 20C life....but it would get ef+ money.Paulus if you want to sell forget those 40x face adverts for pre 1920 there is a man here offering 50x Quote

Nice 1904 florin, Paulus.Thanks Nick and Dave, and to Peter, anyone else want to make a stab at a grade?I'd say EF but maybe a tad better? There is a bit of flattening. Nice coin. Quote
Coinery Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 He's quite an expensive little monarch to collect is our Edward! It's no shrinking violet that can pull together a couple of nice trays from this reign! Quote
Red Riley Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 I'd say EF but maybe a tad better? There is a bit of flattening. Nice coin.I would go along with that (maybe EF/GEF) but grading anything above EF without the coin in hand is tricky. Quote
Peter Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 OK I'm ready to be shot down.I have attempted to get a really good set of Edward V11 copper coins.Yep the lowest grade 1/4d is GEF and I have recently done 1903,06,09in UNC 1/2d's.The silver produces some expensive wants.A quality 1903 2/6 would buzz me.

The Eddy pennies are all very difficult to find with good obverse detailsStrangely, the best pennies for detail are the 1902s - LT and normal - where you can get some really good hair definition. 1907 reverses are pretty notorious. Also, full lustre without spotting is tricky for the whole series apart from maybe 1902 normal. Quote

Several of mine are in the upgrade list even though most have full lustre. 1902s are best for some reason. My 1906 is plain awful! Quote
1949threepence Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Nice, i'd say NEF , wee scratch across Eddies head, but nice looking coin....and a slight reverse edge knock at about 8:30, but a super looking coin, with really nice toning. Nice acquisition. Quote

choolie Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 That is a fantastic design on the reverse of this coin it is really making me want one. My 2010 copy of spink is telling me I should of been able to get a 1902 example for £55 in EF or £95 in UNC back then Which is just about in my price range. Tell me what you think of this one on ebay ebay 1902 Florin any comments about seller and grading welcome thanks. Quote
