Its not ofter I get more thanI hope for.

I bought a 9 mexico coin lot on ebay for 22.00 last week. I saw in the photos one of the "mexico" coins appeared to be a 1780 thaler. the other eight .100 silver mexico 1 pesos.

well they arrived today and there were 7 .100 silver pesos, a 1957 .4178 oz silver peso and a Dcam thaler.

the thaler is truly beautiful I might even send it in to be slabbed.

the photos glare from the DCAM and my camera exp

    The Thaler is a restrike - not worth submitting. Check out this link:

    Gene is right. While beautiful and quite historic, the thaler is a modern restrike and worth silver melt value basically; more than the cost of slabbing.

    nice looking coin though!
