1935 Florin - PCGS MS65

Australia, 1935 Florin -

I have one word for this coin: Wow! I’ve owned some nice florins in my day, but I haven’t owned a 1935 florin this good in nearly six years. The fields are smooth and unmarked, the strike is strong, and the overall appearance is proof-like. In fact, if you hold the coin under the light at the right angle, the frosted effigy almost glimmers against glossy cameo fields. This coin is stunning and certainly one of the finest known. Possibly ex-the Drapers hoard. Very well-priced compared to the Borg Collection coin, which was also graded MS65. That coin sold through public auction in June 2012 for $10,776 including buyers premium.
