This new one ranks up there in elegance of design, and pure balance. It is a lovely representation of of heron with echos of ancient Egyptian aesthetic influence
I love circulated coins like that, where the coins is so charming with the circulating wear. Its easy to make a great proof coin. It is much harder to make a coin that holds its beauty and even changes gracefully through different phases of its life.
1780 Maria Therese Thaler Restrike MS66 PCGS This coin is no longer mine but I thought it was one of the most stunning coins I had ever owned, just in terms of sheer color. As the saying goes, we have established what you are and are now just haggling over the price. Someone came along and waved a bunch of money in my face and I kissed Maria one last time. But I miss her! Enjoy! Best Regards, George
