Both new purchases which demand better images than the PCGS format.

The 1880 piece is mis-cataloged - PCGS has it labeled as both as 2 Florin - pcgs.com/pop/valueview.aspx?s=19741 and medal pcgs.com/cert/83877594
which is inconsistent. A bit frustrating.

1880 Austria. Emperor Franz Joseph I (1848 – 1916) 2 Florin. Vienna Mint. 36mm. Engraver Anton Scharff. DAV-32. KM-XM6. Peltzer, 1932; Hauser 5101; Thun 465. Frühwald 1911. Steulm. P.125, 1; ANK 55; 1911.Struck to commemorate the First Federal Shooting Festival On the occasion of the Austrian Confederation in Vienna, 1880. Obv: Crowned Double Eagle in Coat of Arms. Rev. Standing city goddess, Vindobona, with flag and coat of arms next to the sitting Austria. PCGS MS-65.

The 5F piece is choice and lustrous in hand hence conditionally scarce. You see plenty in GEM yet not as many in Choice GEM as struck.
