Featured My Wildman Addiction

Did anyone even make an AR (silver for those unfamiliar with the metal) 10 taler coin? Let alone a wildman one?

I've very few talers but hope to go to a show/ auction in Germany and see what I can find.

I went to two earlier NYINC shows in 1999 & 2000. At one (1999?) I saw a dealer with a plastic page (20 slots) of high-grade Wildman talers in many of them. At the time there was no slabbing of world and Id guess that many of the coins were unc or nearly so. Sadly my resources were very limited, and I had to follow my collecting area at the time.

I went to NYINC last year and only recall seeing one low-grade one offered by a German dealer I think. It seems you guys have sucked them all up?

OTOH, the borse was infested with numerous Transylvanian talers. I'm suspecting counterfeits or contemporary restrikes, there were so many.

There are some 10 thalers although the largest Wildman I have seen was a 4 thaler that they wanted north of $20K for.

 

You guys have driven the price of Wildmen up to truly Wild levels.
Although there seems to be plenty of "goodies" in this years amazing auction bonanza.

 

I just added this one to the pack. (Pack of Wildmen??)

Anyway, I already had this variety but really like the look of this one. I think @lordmarcovan would appreciate the circam look of this one.



for reference, this is the other I own. It is cataloged as the same Davenport number but is different enough that I didn't mind adding a second one. Obviously made from different dies.
