A few new pickups
I got these few bits before I went on holiday and just found them again, there is one piece of silver and a two dollar bill.
I will start off with the double florin, which I have used my macro lense for the photographs.
1887 double florin
Metal 0.925 silver
Weight 22.62 grams
Mintage 483,347
These coins where the original 20 pence coin, it was the first attempt at decimilisation and othen mistaken for a crown and gained the nick name the bar maids ruin as the double florin was worth 5 pence less than a crown. The coin features the Jubilee portrait of Queen Victoria on the obverse and on the Reverse it has the coat of arms divided by sceptres.
Next is a two dollar bill from 1953, it is an A series and features Thomas Jefferson who was the 3rd US president, it is been creased but it doesn't bother me as I think it is cool.
I like the Double Florin, as I like almost all old British coins.

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
But that's not just a $2 bill, that's a silver certificate. Up until 1964 or thereabouts it was redeemable for silver dollar coins or the equivalent bullion. Two dollar bills are still printed to this day (or periodically every so many years as supplies run low anyway) but they are just regular federal reserve notes now.
I have a $1 silver certificate
Very nice details on that 1887 double florin, my friend! I, too, have a very tiny collection of notes, but most are silver dollar certificates. Thanks for sharing, my friend. Take care.
Those are some nice pickups @gdwcoins! I have some 2 dollar bills somewhere around the house, but they are unique.
Great looking coin! I like to hild a handful of them
