Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4853085, member: 10461"]This coin is on its way back from PCGS.  Disappointingly, it failed to straight-grade.  They ruled it <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/39640161" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/39640161" rel="nofollow">Genuine - VF Details (98 - Damage)</a>.  As of this typing, before I have it back in hand, I have no clue where the "damage" is.  I don't think it's the flat area on the reverse- that looks like fairly typical strike weakness.  I suspect there must be traces of an old removed mount on the edge somewhere.  That's a common issue with thalers.  It certainly doesn't affect the eye appeal in this particular case.  I still think this is a handsome coin due to the attractive toning and the neat design.  Plus, these big pieces of early silver are just so impressive in hand. Look how surprisingly similar the previous (seller's) images and the TrueView are. <img src="https://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/39640161_Medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fcollectivecoin.imgix.net%2FwIef9UxDQvmOLvR6lPyX_Saxony-thaler-800x400-gradient.png&hash=8ef7998f2f05d93adedb2428b571117d" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
