Australian coins grading - Florin - 1910 - Edward VII
Coins of 1910 will probably show toning which is a patina of age above the underlying lustre.
AG-3
Design and date are discernable, although some spots may be worn out. Some lettering should be apparent, if not necessarily readable.
G-4
Major illustrations and features are evident as outlines. Although the coin overall is heavily worn.
VG-8
Full rim with clearly discernable illustrations and features. Most legends are readable clearly, but the whole coin is still significantly worn.
F-12
Jewels in the band of the crown begin to be all visible, but still worn. The rest of the effigy begins to be little clearer. Distinct rim, all legends readable, clear illustrations showing some detail, but the whole coin is moderately, but evenly worn.
VF-20
Clearly readable but lightly worn legends, illustrations show good detail, rims are clean, but the whole coin shows moderate wear on the high points and a little wear below.
EF-40
Legends are sharp, illustrations are clear with slight but obvious wear on the high points.
AU-50
Sharp legends and illustrations show only a trace of wear on the highest points. There must be some remaining mint luster.
MS-60 to MS-70
Generally contain 8 dots (known as pearls), centre diamond and the horizontal bands of the two rectangular blocks with rounded surfaces and without any signs of wear, as the King's eybrow, nose tip, beard and moustache.
Coins of these grades are uncirculated. The only traces of wear on these coins come from the contact with each other during their production at the Mint. The difference between these grades is too small to be reproduced in pictures and images.
