Somebody can't grade British coins

This ought to be good for a laugh ...

UK Florin 1906 Very Hig grade beauty

Whaddya mean, he can't grade British coins? He didn't even try to grade it. Just said "Hig" grade.

Actually, while that isn't especially hig(h) grade, it's maybe low VF-ish, to be charitable. Those Eddie 7s often look lower grade than they really are, due to the lack of features on the portrait.

It's hig, though. Very hig.

Agree with LordM. If it was only one year older it would be worth a lot more too!

No, it would be worth a lot MOR. Get with the program, sonny!

Actually that was better than some that I have seen......

worn flat, no features, and described as having a "bit of wear"

or a coin that would grade VG at best, described as "near uncirculated"

and I don't even want to mention the various grades of UNCIRCULATED that I hsve seen pictured and described AS UNCIRCULATED

Hussulo

Yes a lot MORE roughly 5x compared to 1906.
That reminds me I'm still looking for an EF+ (US MS) 1905 shilling for my Edward VII shilling collection + a lottery win to pay for it.

<< <i>KM-801 Very high grade coin, lovely lusterous surfaces with just a hint of friction >>



Sometimes I wonder if they are looking at the right coin when they submit the description.

Yep--very fine
