<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 7844702, member: 42034&quot;]Thanks, it was bought around 1990 - 1992, well before the &quot;Age of Slabbing&quot;.&nbsp; At least for non-US coins.&nbsp; I told Karl Stephens that I wanted a crown of Cromwell and he found this half crown for me at a major show {I think in CA} and sold it to me.&nbsp; He was the one dealer I could buy decent foreign from at a high but doable price.&nbsp; Also, his quality was good.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another one I found but never posted here yet.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1350152[/ATTACH] </p><p>Poland: Pomerania, taler, 1633</p><p>Stack&#039;s auction ca. 2001</p><p>Pomerania was under the rule of Poland or Germany at varying times.&nbsp; Since I couldn&#039;t find any Polish talers at the moment and my ancestors are supposedly from Pomerania, I bid on it.&nbsp; Stack&#039;s listed it as unc and since talers were no big deal in 2001, it sold to me. It looks Germanic, not Polish, from the style, but was cheap enough not to worry about.&nbsp; No, it isn&#039;t hairlined; that&#039;s just my bad picture taking ability back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
