Owner Comments:
Mintage of 240,000. - Picked this one up at a Stack's auction and was glad to pay over book for it. A very hard coin to find in mint state let alone a MS-65. This low mintage coin has a somewhat glossy obv. with the rev. having a bit more luster. There are 3 others tied with this one for top Census grade. There are a total of twelve of this date graded with the lowest being a MS62. This slab is one of the old tombstone cases which seem to be disappearing from the landscape. Didn't think $200 was a bad price to pay for both of the coins in this lot. I still have the Florin from this lot in my collection.
