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.

    Cool. The Jena University coin is one of my favourite designs. I don't have an example unfortunately, but it's on my list near the top.

    All nice, but the Bavarian thaler speaks to me the most.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
