Guess The Grade Revisted

[Paulus]

Too generous? Too harsh? Comments?

The 1893 florin is UNC maybe a weak strike I have a PCGS MS 65 of this.Bought from CC.

A quality coin

The middle coin is spot on.

Notice eye wear.

The 1901 would not appeal

In my opinion the 1893 florin is graded correctly, the 1743 crown is VF+, problem free with great eye appeal and wonderful 'in-hand', the 1901 is a tad generous as I also have this 1893 CGS 78 of the same type, comparisons below for comments:

The above is my MS 65 Florin

I just collect examples

Although I fancy the date set for 1893

BTW it was graded by PCGS and bought from CC

I do love it.

I've bought a few slabbed farthings from CC who now rest out of plastic and in my FARTHING cabinet (thanks Neil)

I am surprised that there have been no comments on this so far, are people not finding a significant difference in the grades of these 2 coins that have been graded identically by CGS? One of the main concerns around TPGs is their consistency and objectivity ...

Must say with the exception of the edge nick at 6, i really love the 1893 coin

I think that a lot of the time the photos dont do the coins justice paulus.

Also the pictures vary from batch to batch that i have sent and wish i had mine photographed properly before i sent them.

Whenever i now buy one already slabbed i look at the blown up picture and if its looks nice always better in hand.
