[QUOTE="Chris B, post: 3705662, member: 87179"]I've never been one that needed to buy coins that were mint state. I like finding nice gently circulated pieces that fit my budget. I picked this up at yesterdays Heritage Longbeach sale and while it isn't a cheap coin it is far less expensive than a mint state example would be. It may not be perfectly struck either but I have been looking for an affordable example of one of these for a while. 1/2 Thalers of this design seem to be much more common and Thalers are uber-expensive.
