I sent these in (purchased them raw) to get them in slab and grade validated. 1) DAV-8088 Ensisheim Mint, ND, Emperor Ferdinand I (1558-1595) Taler NGC XF-40 I had sent this one in the past and it was claimed cleaned. I thought they were completely off so I sent it in again to get the proper grade. 2) DAV-3007, Hall Mint, Rudolf II (1576-1612) Taler, NGC XF-45 I believed this had AU in it. 3) DAV-3336, 1626, Hall Mint, Archduke Leopold (1619-1632) 2 Taler, NGC XF-45 This is a great looking piece which I bought at the NYC show last year. I like the look and grade of it. 4) DAV-1003, 1701, Hall Mint, Leopold I (1657-1705) "The Hogmouth" Taler, NGC AU-55 5) DAV-1051, 1713, Hall Mint, Charles VI (1711-1740) Taler, NGC AU-55 These definitely made my day.
Beautiful coins. Sounds like you got about what you expected. Is #3 photoshop work or is that a special type of slabbing?
Doubled Lettering on 2 Taler Take a look at the 2 "O"s. I think it may be doubled. What do you think?
Those are great lookin Z. I am torn on keeping mine raw or also slabbing. I just recently purchased a 1704 Leopold the "Hogmouth". I plan on going for the run like you Z. Where did you get all of them?
I said my goodbyes today as I placed them in the bank safe deposit box. Good thing we have the digital scans.
By "safe deposit box" I hope you mean your porch, right next to a warm apple pie for me to pick up! J/K absolutely GORGEOUS talers. I'm saving your pictures so I can drool over them at my leisure!
