From my Austrian set. NGC AU58, I will be sending it to PCGS to have it in their slab.

The toning when looking at the coin in hand, is just outstanding.

Do you think some issues are more susceptible to toning that others? Salzburg seems to have a high number of colorful talers that I have seen slabbed, especially in this generic time period. Here is a very similar piece that I was able to pick up several years ago. I think Zohar also has a few Salzburg pieces in his collection from this general period that exhibit amazing toning.

<< <i>Very nice. And I think the silver used in different localities often tends to tone differently, you also see this in copper pieces. >>
That is very true. Storage also plays an important part.
There was no checks and blances in some of the German mints when it came to the purity of the silver, or to how much impurities would be acceptable. Most Talers from the 16th to the mid 18th century show evidence of this due to very poorly refined and prepared planchets used for minting Talers.
