    Since you haven't heard from Mac or Syracusian, I would suggest you send the pics and email to:

    Marcel Haberling at mail@swisscoin.ch

    He will know and he speaks good English.

    Thanks and his answer is;
    The Basel shooting taler does exist in two varieties. “Long and short rays” or in an other term” rays between sword and leg”. Both varieties are about equal in price and rarity, no correlation to Specimen or mint state strike. Hope this will help as an information.

    Best regards,
