Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.
I have coins to sell, what’s the next step?

The Latin legends translates on obverse as "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the Britains, Defender of the Faith 1881."
The lower left serif of the final Roman numeral x of date becomes weaker as this die progressed in use eventually filling completely so some of the 1881 florins look as though they have a lower case letter r for x in the date.
