Hi darkside friends
I am watching this 1928 UNC Irish Florin with hopes of adding this last coin to my BU 1928 date set. I was so excited about seeing this coin listed and really need a Florin to complete the set. However, looking at the images once again I noticed, at least to me, what seems to be a few dings on the rim of the obv of the coin (note red arrow). My question is, do any of you see this too? Or maybe it's the lighting? I know it's a silly question but I'd like to have some other opinions before I go after this coin or just wait.
Thanks,
Micheál

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
<< <i>That does look like a rim ding too me. >>
Your post piqued my interest and I went back into my world collection and noticed that I have an irish coin from 1928. I don't know anything about irish coins, The coin has a pig and piglets on the back and 1/2 d. Not sure how to grade these so I won't guess on the grade. Not unc though. Any idea of value on this coin? I can post a pic if it will help.
Thanks

1928 Ireland Half Penny (KM2) catalog values:
$0.75 F; $2.00 VF; $5.00 XF; $14.00 UNC
Irish Free State is pretty popular, it may be worth somewhat more than catalog.

<< <i>MSD, too bad the florin doesn't meet your standards, because it does look pretty nice and original, but not uncirculated (a bit of rubbing in the fields). Good luck in the hunt for a perfect specimen!
