<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zohar444, post: 2490521, member: 13450&quot;]Some spirited bidding on The Cape Coral Collection of Multiple Talers today. One comprehensive collection of multiple Talers (mostly German) ranging from 2 to 10 (!!) Taler denominations. I lost on my bids, yet then threw in a reasonable offer for the Harz piece which seldom shows up in mint state. Nice and original. The second piece bought outside of auction is a scarcer Austrian shooting medal held during Franz Joseph&#039;s reign.</p><p><br /></p><p>Harz. ND (1701-67). Baptismal Taler. Katsouros-10A. DAV-2935. Obv: Christ being anointed by John the baptist in the river Jordan, Biblical quotations around. Rev: Biblical quotations in 10 lines and in margins. A beautifully toned presentation piece which retains much underlying luster. NGC MS-62.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the Cape Coral Collection of Multiple Talers </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k353/Zohar444/Slab-O-Sharp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k353/Zohar444/O-Sharp-horz_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1883.
