Wow, that is a rare coin as well!!! MS63+. Bit of friction on the cheek the only thing holding it back
Well, just Love coins, period.
Great color and appearance. Looks like a rim ding at bottom obverse, I think was downgraded for that.
Kat’s posting pictures.
Is it that long that I haven’t visited? 
Beautiful coin, in fact a very nice bunch of coins all together. You always had a great eye.
Edited to add: is 7jag guessing the grade, or does he know something I don’t ? Because I don’t see a Cert number.

Dimitri... As always, great to hear from you. Thanks for the kind comments
This is the PCGS image. This the finest I have seen for this date. While the 1892 Florin is even a greater challenge than the 91, both are overlooked.
Folks can guess the grade. 7jags has no inside scoope. Keep in mind, that my ability to post those images taken by PGCS is predicated on your helpful instruction. I share my results to let folks know what is possible. There are three other coins that were part of the submission that still could make an appearance.
Here is hoping Wybrit and Mac will see this one.

I grade it exceptionally pleasing to the eye !!!
LOL, well I was close. Love it!
Well, just Love coins, period.
This one graded MS64 and is currently the finest graded by our host and the only one within the MS spectrum. There is one NGC that graded 64. One interesting note is that apparently there are fewer 1891 florins graded in MS by NGC and PCGS than 1892 florins... I was surprised.

Nice acquisition - very attractive toning as well.
Very nice Florin!

A Farthing sighting!
A Mac, Farthing and Wybrit sighting in the same thread.... Seems like old times or nobody told me the clock stopped 10 years ago.

Beautiful! The toning is impressive, considering the rarity and condition... It’s a great find!
Wonderful eye appealing coin !

Love the coin; toning is exceptional. I would have graded it as was reported but wondered about the cheek where toning break is seen . There is tic and I would like a higher power/resolution view of the area in Pic or a chance to see in hand. Passed PCGS graders eyes so likely not rub. Congratulation on fine acquisition; great addition to any collection.
Keets...
In the event you make it here to the dark side, this is one example of a condition rarity that is significant. And just because it is significant and a condition rarity being the only MS example graded by our host may not make it an absolute rarity unless one looks at the intended purpose of the coin followed by the surviving population as a backdrop to the demand as to those that seek out Florins by date in a collectible grade.

Lovely coin and great toning. Thanks for sharing it with us!
