BU Victorian Silver Coins

[JohnA]

I'd like to get some BU or MS graded Sterling Silver crowns and shillings. Where is a good online shop?   

I recently got some 1953 shillings so to get the year of Her Majesty's coronation. Unforunately they are base metal. Did get a Canada silver dollar 1953, 80% silver.

I actually like the modern Canadian bullion design better than Britannia's. They are too shiny. The Canadians have nice frosted fields. 

Anyway, I decided to continue getting modern Canadian Privy and other series, but get Vitorian or King George British coins. Before 1920. I have gotten a few from Etsy, but their quality is low. I want some BU or graded.

How much money are you looking to spend? there is some good ebay dealers, but BU Victorian coins can go into the thousands of pounds for top examples.

In that case I guess not graded ones, just BU

Once I figure out how to upload pictures, I've got a AUNC 1887 Shilling for sale... I will give it a go tonight / tomorrow

Have you considered half crowns as they can often be found at better prices than crowns and there are many more dates available?

Someone keeps just outbidding or out offering me lately.  I almost got a nice bull headed half crown at a decent price and an uncirculated vic half crown but fell foul to the last second bidder on the first.

Is a Florin a half crown?

I see these on Etsy...I like this one, maybe a better grade. $50 range would be ok.

I wonder what the silver value is of a SS shilling?

No they are not the same coin.  The half-crown is larger.

A Florin was worth 2 shillings and is the step between a shilling and the half crown. There is also the double florin which was only produced in the years 1887 - 1890, worth 4 shillings so was of higher value than the Half Crown, but not quite as much as a Crown. It was discontinued due to its likeness to the Crown coin and it was often mistaken as such. This makes them an easy date run to collect though

The double florin also has an error on some.  The 1 on the 1887 on some is actually an I,  which makes it more interesting to collect.
