Description

(1942-1945) Australia Florin, MS62
Struck on a U.S. Five Cent Silver Planchet

194X-S Australia Florin -- Struck on a U.S. Silver Five Cent Planchet -- MS62 NGC. 4.9 grams. One of two examples known for this specific error, showing a 1940s Australia Florin struck on a silver wartime nickel planchet. The San Francisco Mint struck Australian Florins from 1938 to 1945, overlapping the period in which the same mint utilized silver-alloy planchets for U.S. nickels (1942 to 1945). The present piece shows the S mintmark clearly on the lower reverse, but the date of the coin is off the flan. Each side is brilliant and satiny, with a couple hair-thin scratches on the portrait that limit the grade.
