Darn those NEN guys... (Hannover inside)

As if it wasn't bad enough spending money in the auctions, then having to travel up to NY for the show tomorrow, they had this one on their site. So they are holding it for me to pick up Friday.

An 1865 B Hannover Thaler celebrating 50 years of the Union with (East) Frisia (called the Frisian Oath in Krause). A miniscule mintage of 2,000 business strikes, and and even more miniscule (but unknown) number of proofs. This one in PF65CAM, the only proof currently graded at PCGS or NGC.

East Frisia had been ruled by Prussia from 1744, but was lost to Napolean in 1810, and ceded to Hannover in 1815.
