Best Answer

The British 1849 "Godless Florin" was a new coin first issued into circulation in 1849. There was a problem with at least one of the dies used and WW (designer William Wyons initials) were subsequently partially obliterated during the minting process.

What is the value of a Florin with no date on it?

You do not give a country or description of the coin. All Florins will have a date on them somewhere. It may be in Roman numerals on 19th century British Florins. Alternatively, any coin with a "genuine" minting flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin. Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated. A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation.


When the reverse is rotated 90 degrees to the side on godless Florin does it affect the value?

All British Florins from 1848 to early 1887 were minted with 180 degrees rotation. A coin rotated only 90 degrees would represent a minting error and may have some value as a collectible. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a valuation based on inspection of the coin.
