NEWPs: 1704/2 Austria Leopold I "Hogmouth" Taler and 1641/39 Ferdinand III Augsburg Taler

Zohar

While I don't see much of interest for these on this forum, I thought I would post and thank @MrEureka for the Hogmouth - for finding and delivering it to Baltimore (I have not seen it yet, but I hear it is spectacular).

The Augsburg piece has a wonderful city view design and great balance of strike, patina and grade.

Oh there is interest, you're the reason I sought after an affordable Hogmouth Taler.

Wonderful new additions. Love the toning on both as well.

While we all may have our specialized area of interest, or several areas for some, I certainly hope that you don't truly feel that way.

From my first experiences on these forums I have always found your coins, and especially your web based display of your coins, to be nothing shy of inspirational.

Never let the thought of other's "interest" or lack thereof to dissuade you from sharing, you'd likely be surprised at how many appreciate seeing them. Personally, I love seeing your coins and I can say honestly that I derive a great amount of pleasure from seeing everyone else's coins as well.

Nice newps Z.

On the matter of interest, I agree with those who feel there is more interest than you realize. That interest doesn’t seem to drive posts or comments though … possibly in part because it’s hard to match words with the quality of your coins and the knowledge you exhibit on the subject matter.

I also suspect it’s people are busy and a lot of us are serial readers but not posters or commentators.

Regardless, you should keep it up as and when you are able to do so.

Agree. The only reason I don't know more about these coins and don't collect them myself is because they're outside my budget. Seeing someone post them on here is about as close as I'll get for a while.
