Three new pickups....
I picked these up recently, what do you guys think?

Saxe-Weimar 1908 Jena University 2 Mark Commemorative Y# 174. Mintage of only 50,000

1940 Mexico 1 Peso KM# 455

1778 Thaler KM# 260.3
I really like the 1908 2 Mark. Mintage is pretty low and it really looks BU in hand, but I've no idea what it might actually grade. The 1940 Peso is nice but I don't think it's worth much. The 1778 Thaler is really interesting. Slightly off center which I would assume is fairly common. Looks fairly original, but I had to use some acetone to remove a PVC spot on the obverse. It's amazing what walks in off the street sometimes.
I think I'm going to list these on ebay, but wanted to hear some thoughts on them before I do.
