<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 778704, member: 246&quot;]Since the major Heritage auction is over, figured it&#039;s time for us to start posting our auction wins and any floor purchases once the show opens on Thursday.</p><p><br /></p><p>I picked up two coins for my collection:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.frozengold.com/messageboards/teutonic3taler.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Teutonic Order. Maximilian of Austria 3 Taler 1614, Davenport 5854A, NGC MS63 NGC (tag only -too thick for the plastic holder).</b> </p><p>Extremely attractive with silvery-gray cabinet toning and sharply defined features. The edge is slightly crude due to the thickness of the flan. Rare and desirable in this select quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>My first 3 Taler of any type. I have nice examples of the 1/4 Taler (MS63), Taler (MS64), &amp; 2 Taler (AU58), so all I need now is a nice 1/2 Taler (very difficult to find), 4 Taler (very expensive), and 10 Taler (gold).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.frozengold.com/messageboards/venice-ducato.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Venice. Alvise Mocenigo III Ducato ND (1729) VV, Davenport 1537, Choice Brilliant UNC.</b> </p><p>Crudely struck with two natural edge cracks. Rare quality for this heavily circulated trade coinage for the Levant.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m working on a set of these types. Only have a handful as they&#039;re hard to find nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prices in the auctions seemed soft for a lot of areas. Both coins were a steal and sold for <i><b>well</b></i> below my max bids.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
