Yea I got lucky got it for 295$USD shipped (raw) I'm betting dealer wasn't familiar that rim dents n dings don't keep these from grading.
I just got another I posted not far below this one. Looks like it will grade AU as well didn't pay as much for that one. If your patient and do alot of searching they come time to time. I collect these gothic florins and Vicky 1 & 1/2 d pennies I've been very lucky to get very good deals with Patience. If you need any help feel free to PM me ill do what I can.
Thanks, Chris-I'll keep that in mind. I have another very similar 2P around here that I've had for years but can't locate. Do you know of a reliable pricing guide for these or any reference on how to grade them? Sounds like you got a super deal on the one you show here.
My only experience has been what I've learned from trial n error with Brit coins in the last 6 months and help from here and comparison with graded samples
Very nice example Chris. These do tend to come with rim dents and bumps quite often as they are such a heavy coin they were dropped a lot. They weren't that popular with the public at the time as carrying a few around on you tended to wear a hole in your pockets quite quickly.
