Nice pieces Zohar - I like the taler. I'm glad you found one because I just can't find it in me to let go of mine.

Brent - I tried to convince you for such a long time given the beautiful toning on yours. Fortunately, I found this type, which is more evasive than the others.

Zohar, it is with complete honesty that I can say that your collection is one of my favorites I've seen posted on the boards!

Thanks so much.

Grades are in from NGC - MS-64 for the Wohlen, MS-63 for Biel.

The beauty of it is the fact that they have such low mintage which makes it somewhat special.
