<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zohar444, post: 1263318, member: 13450&quot;]Nice Taler GypsyTears!</p><p>Heritage indeed had a nice selection of Austro-Hungarian Talers, some in MS-64 and 65 grades. I went after some evasive Habsburg Taler types missing from my set, two being from the scarcer Graz mint. All have the original skins on them along with sharp details. Overall, Talers drew very strong prices (I believe values for MS grades have doubled in the past few years) which left me licking my wounds and out of commission in the short term. Nevertheless, I am very pleased !</p><p><br /></p><p>Archduke Ferdinand Karl 2 Taler ND (1646) Hall. Dav-3363, AU58 NGC. Very attractive design and variety with the lion&#039;s head on the shoulder. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k353/Zohar444/1-horz-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k353/Zohar444/lfCAFVTX64-horz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ferdinand III Taler 1638 Graz Mint. Dav-3185, MS63 NGC, silvery-gray and gold patina with strong details. Very scarce grade for this series.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k353/Zohar444/SlabO-horz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k353/Zohar444/lfCABYSXG2-horz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Leopold the Hogmouth Taler 1698 Graz Mint. Dav-3235, MS63 NGC. I liked the colors and design on this one with aged patina and sharply struck details. The edge clipping (Zainede) is a bit distracting yet the overall look of this one is quite attractive for the set. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k353/Zohar444/1698-Graz-MS63.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k353/Zohar444/lfCAMRBTZ3-horz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
