Hmmmm - that slab is fairly recent. I can't pin it down exactly as to date but certainly within the past 5 years or so. And that makes it even...
It applies to any coin where a similar thing occurs. edit - I just want to clarify. The thing that applies is the cause, not the name. Weak...
I have never heard of it. But then that is probably because such an indicator would be lumped into the general description of many fakes. That...
Boy I don't, it'd be pretty hard to do that.
Sure sometimes you can see luster under toning, even more often than not. But sometimes you can't see it too. In particular the gun metal grey...
For an '80-S ?? :eek: Ya sure surprised me that time Mike.

You're right, it's the taler. The Krause pic being upside down threw me and like an idiot I forgot to check the most obvious - the 2/3 taler is...
Read the legends on that coin, you'll see they do not match the coin the OP posted. edit - now I have to correct myself :o Krause printed the...
I think you must be associating the line of text with the wrong coin. The "horse" 2/3 taler is KM #148. Scroll through your book until you get to...
As I stated earlier, luster would not be seen on a coin with toning like that. And visible luster is not a requirement for the grade either. Coins...
Km #112.2 - under Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hannover.
It seems you missed the entire point of my comments.
Possible, but since the original comment was this was being done as a review of the book, I thought it logical that the book was probably fairly...
It's a 2/3 taler, silver of course. In that condition I would guess somewhere around $100.
