1932 florin a key date

Only 188,000 minted. Rare in good condition and hold a premium above their silver content in even worn condition (graded Good-Very Good). Anything graded Fine and above sell for a few hundred dollars each. Above VF grade they go for thousands of dollars each.

Mine is a humble example around Fine grade.

Bank of China Tower Hong Kong

Gift issued on the completion of the Hong Kong Bank of China tower 1982. Got a lucky win on Ebay for $27.50. I don't think anyone knew what it was. Ounce of silver.

1910 florin

The 1910 Australian florin is the first-ever florin (two shillings) minted for the Commonwealth of Australia. Struck in London during the brief reign of King Edward VII, it features a 92.5% sterling silver composition, a weight of 11.31 grams, and a mintage of roughly 1.25 million.

This is my nicest 1910, grade a/VF. Nice condition for 116 year old coin.

Trio of Melbourne florins.

Group shot of my Melbourne centenary commemorative Florins. One on the left was included in a full set of Florins and crowns purchased in an album. Middle florin won on a Roxbury's auction. Florin on the right won on a Copeland Roberts auction.

Looking for early florins x3

Hi, I'm looking to buy 3 florins to finish off a set. 1910, 1913 and 1921 are the last ones I need. Hoping to find better than average but not looking for PCGS or UNC as I don't have thousands of dollars to spend.

Willing to pay market value for decent circulated examples. I had a circulated year set and I've upgraded to better coins except these last three.

Display ideas.

Got some affordable display options to play around with. Lighthouse capsules 39mm to suit Crowns. 1937 and 1938 obverse and reverse displayed. Ali Express wood coin display with perspex magnetic lid.

Also a lighthouse case for quadrum capsules. Displaying the four commemorative florins.

Anyone win bids in the Roxbury auction?

I watched some of the auctions. Didn't know before hand how much Predecimal was going to be for sale. Over a hundred 1937 Crowns, a dozen or so 1938 Crowns. Several kilogram lots of pre-decimal silver. Lots of gold sovereigns and pennies etc. Was interesting watching rare coins selling for thousands of dollars.

Stack of Crowns.

I've been collecting Crowns and other Predecimal coins for a while. Used to be able to get Crowns around their silver price but everything seems to be over $100 even for rough circulation examples. With the premiums on them now I'm a lot more fussy about what I buy.

Florin and Crown album

I emptied the contents of this folder after I bought it. Put the coins into better storage. Thought I'd see how far I could fill it with "spare" florins and crowns.

Another part set. Piedfort kookaburras needed.

I've had the sulphur and the wedgie for a while. Picked up the other three for a good price, now looking to complete the piedfort set with the 1989 kookaburras. As much as I hate the packaging on these I really like the chunky 40g piedfort coins.

My first 2012 red poppy unc

Fragile you say, let me kick the shit out of it....

Probably just a drop in the ocean here but felt like venting. Auspost delivers 4 parcels to me today. 3 boxes in immaculate condition, the only one marked fragile got squashed and mis handled of course.

I don't think sellers should use fragile tape, it just seems to encourage vandalism.

Scored a better 1932 Florin for my collection. Slowly upgrading my pre decimal year set.

Noodling pre decimal

Went through a stack of old halfpenny coins to complete my year set. Had these left over so I made treasure chests for my grandchildren and sent them the left over pennies and half pennies.
