Coin Grading
— Australian Coins
Images of Australian florins organised by grade and type, eg KGV florin in EF. The grading follows the ANDA guidelines. This resource is limited by the coins, since only those coins I can handle and photograph are presented.
Still, it at least gives you a range of images that can be compared effectively as all the photos were taken using the same camera and lighting setup. That also applies to all the coin photos throughout this site.
— Basic Information
A ‘landing page’ that provides links to graded images of Australian florins by type, and the ANDA resource.
