I've been collecting for over 45yrs now. It all started when my grandmother handed me her collection of German Talers that was given to her by her...
I collect 16th to 18th century German Talers, and 19th century Frankfurt and Bavarian commemoratives.
1855 Frankfurt commemorative that commemorates 300yrs of Religious Peace. I needed this one for my Frankfurt commem. set. I need two more commem's...
The Prussian side of my family did call Leopold a Hog Mouth, and I will not say what my grandfather called the Hapsburg's. Not all Germans called...

1760 Nurnberg 1/2Taler (River God with Pots full of water). The coin looks better in hand than how it looks in this photo.
This German 4Taler piece is one of the unique Talers in my collection.
Norway was ruled by Sweden from 1814 to 1905. Seeing the Swedish Ruler on it is what might have made you think that the coin was Swedish. The...
Thanks Derick. I made a mistake, the photos I posted are older ones when I used a Canon 30D with a 105mm macro. This photo is from the 5D MK-II
I kind of go overboard with lighting. I use two 300watt studio lights with soft box's from my photography studio. I use a Canon 5D MK-II DSLR with...
