Just got this from Nudelman Auction/ Hungary AV Quarter Dukat ND Karl VI HRE 1711-40 Transylvania FDC
Thanks! I just love Transylvanian coinage/ esp. those under the Ottoman vassal princes. However the issues of the HRE are nice in their own right. That coin would have been unaffordable in a US auction, where it likely would have slabbed as a MS-66/67/68?
Yes, the Talers (Transylvania/ HRE) went high, as everything else did, seems prices are on steroids. I have a question, seen some Leopold I Talers in FDC/ Pannonia Terra Auction, coins never toned/ oxidized....still that intense original silver sheen. Almost a miracle that these remain untoned.
Great coin and great to see panzerman back! Must be snowing in Canada now so you can come back to CT and show us some coins.
That's a stunning coin John, another tiny coin for your collection ! That coin must weigh less than a gram, what's the dia. ?
No snow yet! Actually was trimming hedges all day, got up to 28 celsius, so no shirt/ and three Coronas (spaced out) for refreshments But, the sunsets here now at 7:00PM/ thus I only work 12 hrs a day, and have some free time for CT! John
