1855 Florin

1886 Florin

Which one graded higher?

I suspect I already know which one will be the preferred coin... but I still can ask-which do you prefer.

I will add some comments later in the thread

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Both are nice. Toning is thicker and more original on the first one. I would assume most would prefer the second one.

    Well, I am biased and a "hater" as I have been trying to get an MS 1855 for years but always just miss out. The later dates tend to be a bit more common and come nicer - so I am biased to the first even though with my somewhat weakened eyes the second appears a bit higher grade.

    I like both but 1886 looks has better strike.

    1855 looks superior from a technical standpoint, and I prefer the look of it.
