Mark scored some nice grades from PCGS down under; Dan needed something new to play with as much as another hole in the head 
(i'm jealous buddy), and i'm still drooling over Mac and Bertie's beauties.
Here is my modest contribution for a hectic Monday. A couple pics I've shown before, but i love seeing Spacemonkey perform his magic of the mirrored effect, and I had to share.
here is a photographic lesson of what not to do. First, save the great quality images from the auction house you buy the coin from. Then, accidentally delete the reverse shot. Try to do a hamfisted photography job of the reverse, which nowhere near replicates the booming luster it has in hand, and looks washed out and dead compared to the obverse photo from the auction house. A scarce coin like this deserves better, and I promise to get some professionally taken

Where does the "godless" designation come from on the florin? I'm not familiar with the series. Nice looking coin!

Hi Bob,
much to the angst of Vicky and her subjects, the usual 'Dei Gratia' was left off the coin from this year, thus the nickname that collectors have given it 'Godless'.
edited to add: Nice coins
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
<< <i>Nice grouping. How did you get them to balance like that on the rims?
i ground down the rims flat using a Dremel. works like a charm!
thanks guys!

Wow...I don't know if you should do that.
You should use a belt sander instead.
