You have to be good with your Roman numerals to figure out the date on these old florins. If you have a coin that looks nice and is not worn to a frazzle, then you have a valuable collectible. These coins contain 0.336 troy ounces of silver. Typical catalog values are:

worn: $30 US dollars catalog value
average circulated (like our picture): $50
well preserved: $130
fully uncirculated: $600

Please refer to our Important Terminology page to convert these catalog values to actual buy and sell values.

There are a few *good dates* in the series, as follows:

1854: worth $800 catalog in worn condition (zowie!)
1862: worth $250 in average circulated
1862: worth $750 in average circulated

If you become interested in coin collecting, a little knowledge goes a long way with this series of coins. There are several small nuances in some coins that make them quite a bit more valuable than normal specimens. These nuances are beyond the ken of CoinQuest, but it might be worth your while to investigate futher.
