[QUOTE="BuffaloHunter, post: 26131440, member: 5821"]This was a forum purchase from our fellow coin brother, [USER=92655]@Randy Abercrombie[/USER] ! He stated that he failed to fall in love with this big chunk of silver. I adopted it and instantly fell in love. Now, I'll be completely honest, I know very little about these types of coins. I have a few questions below that I'm hoping some seasoned veterans can chime in on. This coin has a slight concave bend to it, the wildman being the outside of the basketball. Is this because this coin was minted on a roller press? If that's the case, I'm assuming that is also the reason that the reverse details are a bit mushy, specifically at 3 to 6 o'clock? I intend on sending this piece to NGC as it will fit in my collection better as a slabbed coin. I've seen enough of these to know that a LOT of them are details graded. Do you suppose this would be a details coin or could it straight grade? Any and all comments welcome and post your Wildman coins if you have them! 1661 Braunschweig-Wolfenbuttel Thaler [ATTACH=full]1667687[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1667688[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
