Enjoy! If you like it, it is the right price. If you will try to sell it, will be difficult to recover the money, but all of us did this "mistake".

Technically, it is not a mistake, if you have fun and like it, why not?🤗

 

Where would you recommend buying kilos of silver from I'd like to get abit because I can only see the Gbp losing value as history shows us.

Also seems someone was questioning  the same coin I found a link from 2015 from there were as puzzled as me they did mention  possibly coincraft as being the seller at a time but the trail seems to have gone cold. Mystery

You are welcome!

Mt advice is to leave it. Even it is pure silver replica (you can be sure only after you have it in hand, fully tested), have absolutely no extrinsic value.

 

This one is a medal, not a coin, made and certified by somebody, so is another  situation.

Still, not high premium unfortunately. 

Thank you, its so interesting this silver coin bussiness, quite enjoyable.

I only paid around £45 including shipping so hopefully not to bad.

Thanks 

A nice spink & son ltd please don't say this is a replica 

Thank you all for your expertise. 

I would of thought the seller on ebay would know its a replica I've messaged them to ask its origin and a little information becuase they have it listed as 13.5 ounces of silver perhaps there not aware

The genuine article is 65mm diameter.

So the genuine large silver florin coin is 65 mm

Gothic florins were only made in one size, to the best of my knowledge.

Here is a link to an 1852 example:

Rather shockingly, I / we seem to have omitted to include the dimensions, but they were about the same size as the old ten pences.

But you could look on Numista:

I have not any clue about what coin you are talking about.

I didn't like to say that.

A link or some pictures would be beneficial.

Of the coin, not the dealer, although it would be interesting to know who the "dealer" was who was so uninformed and ignorant.

It could have been Chinese made replica, worth about £1, but probably offered on ebay or Amazon as extremely rare, stunning, for about £500, by someone who "doesn't know anything about coins, but my grandfather left it me in his will 50 years ago"

😎

There's offering one for £1200 on ebay you were right price has gone up then. right. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175216923265?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=o9nTmn5WQv2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=c8tdkd4mqiq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I saw another just like it, is this one a replica as well then 🤔 

Hey thank you all for replying I don't think it's old I've managed to get some images

I came across a large gothic florin coin the size of a fist about 0.35kg in weight but the seller couldn't told me who made it and it looked newish they it was a commertive coin.

Could anyone shed some light on who minted it thanks 

I think it would be a great buy considering the rate money is being printed
