Well, how long are you going to hold us in suspense?

 

AU 58, possibly higher~difficult to tell due to weak strike. Great coin

 

WoW! Absolutely amazing design! Who cares about the grade?

Just joking - I'm in the XF - AU camp, but leaning more towards XF.

 

Hopefully this doesn't take too long. Did you send them across the pond?

 

Good luck with the postal Gods!

 

AU53

 

It was a grading week in Munich, so it didn’t go too far. It’ll likely be a week before I get the coin back, so I’ll go ahead and reveal.

 

Thanks everyone for your patience! I don’t have the coin in hand yet, as NGC is very busy, but I can at least share the photos of the coin in the slab. The Grade came out exactly as I had hoped/thought. https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/3938212-001/53/



I noticed there was a January auction that included an AU55 that sold for $1,900. https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/2822838-005/55/



After seeing photos of it, I think it’s been cleaned and possibly tooled. I’m surprised it got an AU55, but it solidifies for me that I paid a good price for mine. I think mine was a slightly weak strike with a bit of dark toning, which is why it got AU53.

Special thanks to @ma-shops for their platform where I found the coin (FYI, Künker listed it as XF). Also to @Rheingold and @micbraun for their opinions on grade and authenticity prior to my purchase, as well as for assisting with the submission. Totally worth still being on coin probation

 

Good job there, Seattlite86. I recall you saying you wanted to get some nice thalers whilst over there in the Vaterland.

 

GTG home run!

 

Indeed. Lots of solid guesses here.

 

Somehow I missed this until today. I was going to say 55-58. Beautiful coin. BTW, I like yours better than the one sold for $1900.

 

Thank you! I do too

 

I'm with Lord M. Xf 45. The reverse stops it from maybe a low Au. Lots of detail. Looks like my worn out knees also

 

Your only saying that cuz your probably right. I want to go low AU. Just didn't have the grapes

 

Actually I said it because I wanted to see what the grade turned out.

 

Thanks, I feel like a winner

 

Very happy for you!
