And to think that I once saved as a favourite your thread about how to upload pictures on this forum Chris......;-)



My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

went out for a wee hunt with robert last night…didn't do great but i did manage to get a silver……..an 1891 jubilee head florin….which is a rarer florin due to it's low mintage compared to other years……other years they were made in the millions where as the 1891 only 836,000 were minted…looking online…in fair condition it is worth about 40 bucks and goes up from there…going by the picture they have of on at a rating of F+ mine is in better shape. i think a few people call these gothic florins but the gothic actually stopped minting in 1887 then came out the jubilee head florin….

Nice one PB and yes in good nick too.
The English florins of that era and our half crowns are the coolest designs I reckon.
Well done.

Very nice coin Chris....and a rare one at that. Well done. Always a great buzz to find old Brit silver........the highlight of any hunt I reckon....except maybe when it's GOLD of course.
