GTG: German States 1614 Doppeltaler (Hall, Austria)

Okay Folks, NGC finally weighed in on the grade of this coin; I will reveal when the coin returns to me. The photos provided are what I had to work with when I bought this online. Guess the grade.

Nice original looking Taler. I am at AU55 to 58 I think a lot of the weakness is in the strike.

 

AU-50

 

With the photos provided I am having a hard time seeing surfaces and high points that have been disturbed that excessively. But this is not my area. I would defer to you if we were walking a show.

AU50

 

AU53

 

In the AU 50 to 53 range... go with AU53.

 

This is my first response to a GTG on Coin Talk. I say AU-53

 

XF-45 -> AU-50

 

I’d call it XF45, possibly AU, although recognizing that at least SOME of the missing detail may result from a weak strike. Wouldn’t surprise me, though, if NGC — who had the coin in hand — graded it higher, but I’d be amazed at anything over AU55. Whatever the case congrats on a really handsome item.

I'm not going to venture a guess on the grade as world coins are too far out of my wheelhouse. I just wanted to chime in to say that is a fantastic piece.

 

AU53

 

It’s not just a “world coin” but a hammered medieval coin. Not ancient, not modern either... pretty tough to grade when you usually look at half dollars and gold! I know the grade, that’s why I don’t want to comment any further.

 

Hammered silver is tough to grade. I'm thinking we are seeing wear from striking. I'm in at MS63.

 

AU-53.

 

I'll guess 55, maybe NGC was feeling generous that day.

 

I'm at AU50...a beautiful piece.

 

AU 53

...I wouldn't be surprised if it went XF up to low AU; hopefully it worked out for the best!
