Hi all!

I recently picked up an 1859 Florin for what I believe was a decent price. I have been deliberating over sending it in to be graded - factoring in the cost to grade the coin and with spending around $30 on it, would it be advised to get it graded, and if so what would you guys think it would get? I'm something of a novice when it comes to determining grades myself, so any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Welcome...

    Submitting this for grading would not be advisable. Here's why:

    The last image reveals two scratches that are severe enough to prevent a straight grade

    The details grade is likely in the VF30 -35 range (by US standards) Spending $30 for grading will not produce the best economic outcome.

    Yes, I agree, and this is somewhat "my series". Do not slab, the scratch puts it in details grade @ VF25.
    Love the design - hang in there for a better specimen.

    Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
    Well, just Love coins, period.
