A quick round up of recent purchases. I strayed into Italian and German State purchases yet this may be short lived as there needs to be focus! The 4th from the top is a special noble house issue from Khevenhuller-Metsch, 200 Minted.

That one looks like it was minted yesterday!
I love the design of the pezza della rosa!
Probably minted as needed for use. And it wasn't.
@Zohar - I somehow knew you would end up with that Lubeck Taler! I was an under under bidder on it. It looks amazing to me, interesting to ponder 1776 date, and interesting (to me) motif! Congrats on that pick-up. Would be curious what you think it looks like in hand, or if you can post an iPhone video of it once received!
My current "Box of 20"
Will do - I think it's got superb skin from the image, especially when comparing other specimens sold.

Those are all stunning, but the last one caught my eye the most.
Dang, I love those Teutonic Order pieces.
Budgetary limitations forced me to go with a fractional, but even the quarter-thalers are respectable sized coins.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Nice coins, @Zohar, but I'm hoping we are not competitors!
How does one get a hater to stop hating?

One side benefit to relative poverty means that I won't ever have to worry about being a Zohar competitor!

That is alot of hardware to absorb in one post - all outstanding of course. Lubeck in particular is very nice.
