Coin 2: 1925 George V Florin

[Paulus 1,975]

My opinion:

Coin 1 : EF

Coin 2 : Fair (scrap value)

Thank you for the quick reply

The first one might be unc or thereabouts, but it is difficult to say with the image provided which is too bright. Certainly no apparent wear on the rampant lion or the ear lobe. The second is a rarer date, but don't get carried away with the rarity values as these really only kick in in high grade. That one is best avoided as you should be able to find one in at least fine for a modest premium over melt.

Coin 2: 1925 George V Florin

The 1945 halfcrown is UNC (no visible wear) but possibly not the strongest strike I've seen. It's also a bit 'spotty'. Bear in mind that these are quite common in BU condition, and not expensive as such, so well worth looking for.

The 1925 florin is About Fair, and although a scarce date, is worth only scrap silver in that grade.

My thoughts FWIW.

The 1925 was noted as a key date many years ago.Hence they are common as muck as are H & KN 1950 & 1 Pennies.

That's where they're at for me!

I have been buying sets of 1953 coins maybe getting a couple of rare farthings.Most of these sets were spent at the local sweet shop.

A good BU 1953 1d is sort after.
