<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doppeltaler, post: 2241330, member: 73593&quot;]I love big European silver crowns with beautiful designs. I have been waiting for long time to get hold of silver 2 ducats. Dutch provincial ducats are mostly struck in gold and silver 2 ducats are rare. These 2 ducats are bigger than usual German 2 thalers at around 56g with same dies as single ducats used but with double thick planchets.</p><p>I won mine at last week&#039;s long beach auction and it is a silver 2 ducats from the province of Zeeland. It is a ex mount, doesn’t show much sign of the mount and fitted in to my budget. I never buy so called problem coins but this one after many days of thought had to be mine <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> There was another problem free 2 silver ducat which sold as three times as much and was out of my range as well as i liked the toning of this one better. I just got shipping notification from Heritage and cant wait until i get hands on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]442160[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Zeeland. Provincial 2 Silver Ducats 1748 AU Details (Mount Removed) NGC,</b> Dav-1847. Despite the details assignment, this broad example presents deeply-toned, graphite-gray surfaces and fully-struck details throughout, including the legends. Because of the holder, evidence of the mount removal is hard to discern, but even so, this is an all-around wonderful offering with plenty of allure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
