    thats the class i gave it 4a, not sure the finds liaison officer got it right, the amount of stunning cut halfs i've found on this particular field is unreal, always thought when a whole one turned up it would be just as stunning, was a bit disappointed tbh, still a nice coin though and happy to add to my collection

    i like a little Ebay flutter now and again, in fact its pretty much where i buy all my coins form these days, picked up this nice 1937 proof florin for just under a score, i was the only bidder, has a few marks on the obverse but its better than the one have already, my pictures don't do it justice

    there are some subtle differences between the standard 3 d's and the maundy ones that look alike in Edward VII's reign and before, angle's of the rim etc, a good book to buy is silver pennies and linen towels by Brian Robinson, goes into great detail about issues and dies telling proofs from standard etc, gone up a bit in price now, i got it when it was first issued, great book though isbn 9780907605355

    no shame in asking, thats how we learn things, better to ask then to never know ;0) and make a costly mistake as i have

    This the standard 3d from the 1937 proof set, just trying to find a picture of my 3 d proof maundy

    Bought this awhile back knowing it was a forgery, i like the fact its of its time and not modern, interesting piece of History, paid about £7 quid for it
