My dad has a set of florins ranging from 1910-1963. Are there any really good dates that have a premium. Thanks!

Look for the early dates (1910-1915) to bring the strongest prices with a few other sleeper dates like 1932 & 1933. And check for proofs! If you find any proofs or uncirculated business strikes in these dates, you've got yourself a small fortune. Nice 2s Aussie coins are hard to come by. Good luck!
Of these four, only the 1934/5 one (with guy on horse holding torch) is scarce; typically sell for a few hundred dollars Australian.
In the non-commemoratives, the only "premium" date not yet mentioned is 1939.
Anything up to 1945 is going to be scarcer than the mintage figures indicate: they are struck from sterling silver, and were actively withdrawn and melted down as the price of silver rose. In fact, many of them ended up being shipped off to the USA to pay off our "war debt".
