I was very nervous bringing these and others to the Baltimore show yet figured I can trust my own judgment and security when compared to the USPS. Todd Pollock of BluCC (Bluevette) did an awesome job on site and off in editing these to accommodate my needs allocating time and patience. Hopefully you all enjoy looking at these as much as I do. 1486 Sigismund Guldiner 1564 Archduke Ferdinand Taler 1618 Maximilian Taler 1623 Sax-Weimar Pallass Taler 1627 Leopold V Taler 1665 Ferdinand III Taler 1667 Leopold I 1/10 Taler 1672 Hungary Leopold I 6 Kreuzer 1675 Leopold I Graz 2 Taler 1693 Hungary Leopold I Taler 1695 Hungary Leopold I ¼ Taler 1707 Joseph I Taler, Hall Mint 1708 Joseph I Taler, Vienna Mint 1716 Hungary Charles VI ½ Taler 1719 Olmutz Taler 1766 Hesse-Cassel Taler 1766-F Joseph II Taler 1780 Courland Peter Biron Taler

Those are all breathtaking, incredible collection you have there!!! It makes me want to start hunting for a few myself.
Dang those are nice! You should have shown these to me when we talked there but those pictures are great too.
Wow! amazing collection. all great. my favorite was the 1848 5 Lire Lombardy Revolution . it's a lion thing.
I love that 1908KB 5K. Tough to find in higher grades for sure. I've got 63s/64s of various dates but I haven't seen a gem example before.
Jaelus - sold it at the show - I didn't like the weakness on reverse angels. I am not sure its a true GEM. Will hopefully find a nicer one.
Yea I see what you mean. It's got a weak strike on the obverse too around the beard, even moreso than the typical weakness on a 1908. The surfaces look fairly mark-free though. 1900 seems like the best year for strike on those. I've been working on an unc date set (including all variations of restrikes) for the 1, 2, and 5 korona Hungary, and 1 corona Austria, upgrading as much as possible. It's a very challenging set, especially finding material above MS63. Do you have an example of the 5 korona coronation commem?

Those are beautiful. Love the original surfaces and especially the gorgeous MS66 korona. If you have others please share. I've got a stunning 1915KB korona at NGC right now that I'm hoping for a 66/67 on. I've got a nice 1915 MS63 PL and another currently at NGC that I'm expecting to come back with a 64 PL. Most of my collection is up here. I'm definitely a bit behind on updating this though. https://collectivecoin.com/Jaelus/ Since you like the 5 korona denomination, here are my nicest examples of all 4 types: X-11 Restrike 1896KB Silver 5 Korona Hungarian Millennium Commemorative KM# X-11 PF67 ULTRA CAMEO Coronation Anniversary 1907KB Silver 5 Korona Coronation Anniversary Commemorative (1907) KM# 489 MS64 Regular 5K type with a decent strike 1908KB Silver 5 Korona (1900-1909) KM# 488 MS63 Karoly IV 5K Pattern 1922 Nickel 5 Korona (1922) Pattern KE5 MS65
Excellent material!!! One question regarding restrikes - they seem to run high in pricing, could never figure out why... modern issues. Still beautiful.
I'm intrigued by the 1695 Leopold. I like the diamond shape that his portrait is in. That ancient is just freaking amazing.
