<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris B, post: 4572761, member: 87179&quot;]I meant to post this the other day. June 13th marked 2 years since I started this thread. It was my first &quot;Featured&quot; thread on Coin Talk. It amazes me that there are over 12,000 views. </p><p><br /></p><p>You all have helped. There have been some absolutely amazing coins posted and in some cases, they alerted me to pieces that I was missing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Adding Wildman coins is still my main collecting goal, although it is getting harder and harder to find ones that I don&#039;t have that are affordable. I am mostly concentrating on full Thalers at the moment so the below piece kind of kills that trend. Sometimes you just have to buy a piece when you see it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The below piece is relatively common as far as Wildman coins go but it is in pretty good condition for being 260 years old. I recently was able to pick it up as part of a lot of 7 coins sold in a recent Pegasi auction. It was the main reason I bid on the lot and ended up being only one of my favorites once I was able to examine the rest more carefully. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1132190[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>BRUNSWICK-LÜNEBURG-CALENBERG-HANNOVER</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Crowned quartered arms on ornate shield, value below</p><p>Reverse: Wildman with tree in right hand</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruler: George II August</p><p><br /></p><p>Composition: Silver[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
