The two 1902 shillings are certainly at least EF.

The 1910 is better than VF I'd say - there is some wear to the hair (always the first to go), the remainder shows little. I'd say GVF or perhaps even a bit better.

The 1905 is less than Fine - I'd rate it Fair.

I agree with these grade, love the toning on the 1910 too!

I think it is

Poor

Good

Fair

Fine

Very Fine

Extremely Fine

Uncirculated

with variations including near, about, plus, good (as a prefix), BU (brilliant uncirculated), and FDC (Fleur de Coin)

But I might not have it quite right! Hope that helps!!

You'd be forgiven, the way some dealers jump straight to Fine for everything below VF.

Fair is better than Poor, but less than Fine. For example, if there's no hair left on the portrait it's Fair. If the main elements of design (e.g. the lion face) is worn flat, it's Fair. To be Fair, the legend has to be completely readable.

On your better picture, I'd rate the '05 Fair+ but it's definitely not Fine.

My 1869 penny just about rates as Fair, but only just.

Yes, I'd say that was a fair grading. GVF I mean. Not Fair :D

Decent Edward V11 florins are difficult to find at a reasonable price.The last date letter wears quickly.
