I agree. Look good to me... Nice pieces... That 2 Thaler is killer. If it's a rare one... It could be worth much more than $1k.
At this point in time... From the results of recent submissions... I feel this to be the case... But like I said... I don't feel as if this has...
Not exactly. Common coins are just that... Common... There are lots of nice looking examples on the market.... It takes a really spectacular...
