    Is there competition to your collection?
    Habsburg Talers

    TalerUniverse.com is a curated numismatic project dedicated to the silver talers, crowns, and medals of the Habsburg Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, spanning the 16th–18th centuries. The collection emphasizes historically significant issues, rare mint varieties, and high-grade NGC/PCGS examples, presented with detailed historical context, scholarly references, and high-resolution photography. TalerUniverse aims to serve both as a private collection showcase and a growing reference resource for collectors, researchers, and students of early-modern European coinage.

    There was across the street at NGC before they nuked the ability of using PCGS coins in their registry game. I'm sure there will be on this side, as well. My collection is still pretty small, Z. There are numerous collectors of 8 Reales who have way larger collections than I do.

    You know you want to start with something small like a Ferdinand VII armored bust series image Plus, why would you want to get out of 8 Reales? It's only a matter of time until the demand picks-up for nice pieces.

    1. Because I fell in love with Talers.... ROFL.
    2. Because out of 32 Reales I have only 1 is slabbed in PCGS and 1 is slabbed in NGC. Rest of the 30 Reales have all been liberated from their plastic tombs.
    3. I hate slabbed coins. I like to hold my coins... I know this is a PCGS forum but ...

    Hmm.... need to prioritize ... get back on track and focus....

    Looks great Roman, I see you have yours up already and you're Ranked #1
    Woot.

    I'm actually very happy 8 Reales are finally being recognized by the registry.

    Yup, going to enjoy that #1 slot before others start creating sets image I'm sure Dizzlecc, Rosswb, and ddr70 will shortly kick me off that spot. I think I also saw RYK create a Type Set, so he might be a closet darksider with a taste for 8 Reales.

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    Cool, good to see more opportunities for Mexico. I'm trying to diversify from the cap and rays, the portraits and pillars could be options, this helps.

    You are #1 in 4 of the sets, we need to get you some competition.
