Gee whiz, they didn't post any William IV florins .......

This could be interesting... I say that because the Edward VII Florin is probably the most attractive 20th Century British coin and perhaps the Gothic Florin may be the most affordable attractive 19th century British coin. For the Registry crowd, it could be fun... I need to go look at what the ratings are for the dates....

I looked at the ratings for the Edward VII Florins... while 1902 deserves a 1, I am not so sure 1906 or 1907 deserve a 2, especially, if 1903 is only a 2.


just some mindless commentary...

BTW the 1854 should be pointed much higher. The 1851 is near unattainable as there were only 1,540 made. Perhaps that one should come off the list because in some circles it is suspected that it is a proof only issue.

They also forgot the Gothic 1887 in their list.

I see the weighting is off in other series.

Wybrit,

You commented that the 1851 should come off the list. PCGS is funny about that. The Canada 1859 brass penny is commonly considered an error, with about 30 known, but there it is in the Vicky cent registry set listing.

The mintage is one thing. It should be on the list if that were the criteria. Since they mention that the registry is for "circulation strikes" the 1851, in theory, may not qualify. Coincraft supposes that all 1851s extant are worn proofs. Furthermore, the Gothic florin was not officially legal tender until 1852.

Now he's picking about "legal tender" . . . .

I agree, the point weighting needs some severe corrections in several instances, and I haven't bothered to dig through them all.

No further commentary on ratings?


I note that there are over 160 British sets registered...
