My Mood: | Proof Bavarian Pattern
As most members know, I collect German States coinage from the 1500's to 1918. I've just started to include Patterns also.
This grades NGC Proof-63RD

Beautiful coin...is this the one from germancoins.com? If so, I was looking at that coin awfully hard over the last few weeks and I couldn't bring myself to spend the money on it. Great pickup and I hope you enjoy it!

He has a few silver Patterns I'm looking at.

I think he had one that was a PF64BN too...but I thought the 63 had better eye appeal and was cheaper. I hope it's as nice in hand as it looked online. Congrats!

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
