<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zohar444, post: 2375658, member: 13450&quot;]Don&#039;t get us started with the dullness of current coinage. The Dukats are beautiful indeed as are Talers and commemoratives of that era. If one looks at wcg&#039;s set of Sede Vacante medal/Talers contrasted with today&#039;s coinage, it illustrates the decline.</p><p><br /></p><p>Re Ferdinand - If it is as nice you should have bought it - I have looked at hundreds of this type in what the Europeans grade stempelglanz - they fall anywhere between 62-64 and generally &quot;Prachtexemplar&quot; would give you that extra bump in technical grade and eye appeal combined. I have seen many 62-63 of this type, fewer 64s and even fewer 65 (I have another in that grade). I thought this had a chance at 66 given the relative crispness of the strike - look at the armor details and reverse coat of arms. Common coin very choice grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
