Great Britain Florin 1893 to 1901

Neat coin, Jacob. I like the one in our picture. Even though it is worn, the toning acquired over the years has caused the design to stand out. Pretty!

These old florins (two shillings) are made of 92.5 percent silver. That is the same composition as Sterling silver. There are 0.336 troy ounces of silver in this coin, which sets the lower limit of its value. Take the current value of silver (available at web sites such as kitco.com) and multiply by 0.336 to get the Base Value (BV) of your coin. Currently this value is 0.336 oz * $18.40/oz = $6.18 US dollars.

Over and above the silver value, these coins gain value from collector demand. Here are some typical catalog values:

worn: BV + $5 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: BV + $20
well preserved: $80
fully uncirculated: $175
florins dated 1894 are less common and catalog at $275 when fully uncirculated
