    Nice. What’s the grade? Obviously NGC, as I see those dastardly white prongs sticking into the photos. LOL

    AU58. It's not in hand yet but it looks like the reverse (wildmen) is nicer than the obverse.

    Anybody want a gold Wildman coin with a shipwreck pedigree? I mean, how cool is that? :greedy:

    Darn, I have been looking for a gold Wildman that wasn't crazy priced.

    My first significant addition to this collection in a while. A 1562 dates Thaler of Heinrich the Younger. USPS took over a month to get it from NY to Indiana so I wasn't sure it would be posted here at all.

    In my opinion it is much nicer than the photos show. It is dark but has incredible detail.

    PCGS MS62
