I may have blown my Heritage budget on this prrrty piece and the shooting medals. But how can one resist?

1707 Joseph I (1705-1711) Taler
Hall Mint
DAV-1018
NGC MS-64

I upgraded this fellow which I like very much yet will painfully sell to fund part of this purchase..

    I like it Zohar.

    I think it needs some better pics, however. The label on the NGC slab is selling it more than the pics themselves right now. If I were presented with the AU-55 image and the MS-64 images without knowing the grades, I would have a tough time picking out the one graded higher. You can probably capture some more strike and luster on the new one.

    Both are gorgeous coins.
    (The "dots" around the coat of arms tell me which one is AU55.)
    When in doubt, don't.
