A few of my recent pick ups from the NYINC show last month. 1627 Germany (Augsburg) Taler. Davenport 5026. NGC MS63 (which was harsh). The picture doesn't show it, but the coin is highly lustrous with some nice light golden toning. 1531 Germany (Mansfield) Taler. Davenport 9479. NGC AU58. Very nice strike for the type with wonderful detail on the face, horse, and dragon. Appears to have been quadruple struck. 1633 Germany (Pomerania) Taler. Davenport 7282A. NGC AU58. A very rare coin which does not frequently come up for sale. 1741 Switzerland (Basel) Double Taler. Davenport 1749. NGC MS63. Very nice luster and strike. Adjustment marks are basically limited to the rims which is nice as they frequently come running thru large portions of the design. 1711-1740 Austria (Hall) Double Taler. Davenport 1049. NGC AU58. Mintage of only 834. While coin is technically accurately graded, no one would complain if it were in an MS63 slab.
Those are very nice coins! I specially like the Mansfeld Taler. That New York coin fair must be something else. Congratulations on some reallz nice acquisitions. Eduard
Very little India. It's in at PCGS right now. I think it was mainly better type, but XF condition coins. Nothing spectacular. Hopefully I'll get it back in the next week or so.
