<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3473735, member: 46237&quot;]Here&#039;s a new pickup of mine with an interesting pedigree:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Austria 1908 Corona</b></p><p>60th Anniversary of Reign</p><p>NGC MS64</p><p>EX. Richard Placht Coll.</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard Placht (1880-1962) was an engraver at the Vienna mint as of 1904, and would work his way up to mint director by 1914. So this coin, struck in 1908, was entirely produced during his tenure at the mint. Though an MS64 isn&#039;t that exciting in and of itself (I have an MS66 PL example of this type), it&#039;s interesting to consider that this may have been a specimen or early strike that he retained from his time working at the mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]924056[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]924057[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
