1946 Florin PCGS MS64
This is a great-looking coin with fantastic concentric die cracking on the obverse. 1946 was the first year in which coins of the reduced silver standard were produced. I imagine the die cracks on this coin were a result of teething issues during the transition. Perhaps the die pressure was too high, causing the die to crack. (In fact, it’s conceivable that that the flat strikes of 1946 and 1947 florins were a result of attempts to preserve the dies during the early years of the production under the new silver standard.) Catalogues $150 in Choice UNC. Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading.
