Great minds think alike!

[Believe it or not, all three of these came from Blue Moon Coins, at rather attractive prices.]

My PCGS AU55:




1885, SEGS MS62 PL:




1867, NGC MS63:

<< <i>Anyone collect shooting Thalers? >>

No. Like Conder tokens, or those Victorian medals theboz11 collects, or so many other things, I have avoided them...

... because I fear they would become too habit-forming!

There's definitely a high "eye candy" quotient there... your piece being no exception!

The intricate designs are stunning. Nice coins!

Super nice coins.

I collect the Swiss Tralers with a bear on them. The only one that I don't have is the
1885 one that you are showing (it is not a 1855... ). It is also the most expensive!!!
Some day,Some how, Some way..............

These are the ones I have:

1986 Swiss Shooting Thaler




1991 Swiss Shooting Thaler




1994 Swiss Shooting Thaler

Coinpictures,

I love those shooting Thalers! such cool designs. I found a SEGS holdered one in MS63, but am a bit leery as i really only go with PCGS/NGC/Anacs/ICG for coinage. do they usually do a good job at grading these?

thanks!

The 19th C Shooting talers are undervalued IMO, especially if one goes by Krause. I've thought about collecting them but never got a round to it.

Interesting to see the difference between the PCGS 55 and the NGC 55. I honestly think my coin should be graded xf45. But I am satisfied with my purchase.

The amount of wear appears to be very similar, but my coin appears to have a lot more lustre, although that could be the photographs. One of the things that attracted me to the coin was the blue-bronze toning... gives it a bit of an "antique" appearance.
