    A very cool coin I picked up for my collection at the NYINC show a few days ago. It is a 1620 Germany (Hamburg) Taler which has been double struck at about 15* rotated from the first strike. The buildings appear to be falling down.

    now THAT is an amazing coin! Embodies everything I love in an old coin. Beautiful, hand-wrought, and a great feeling of history. Thank you for sharing!
