Newp from Baltimore (Zohar, not a hammered coin!)

Picked this up right before I left for home... Z - I may be back on the wagon again.

An Austria Thaler dated 1657 from St. Veit; Dav-3194. It's graded 63 by a reputable TPG.

I was eyeing that one on NEN for quite some time. Fabulous and scarce. I opted for another piece which I will post in a few days.

Congrats.

Very nice Thaler. I can see why the wagon is calling you back.

Absolutely stunning. How much did you pay, may I ask?

Thanks. It feels unseemly to talk so openly about money. In the interests of decorum, let just say that I paid a price between fair market value and FMV+fair-dealer-overhead.

This one doesnt grow on trees!! Very very choice.

I keep drooling over this one...however I can't see why it grades 63 instead of 64-65 though I do think I see a hint of rub on the reverse, up by those cherubs.

Sweet coin, very well preserved. Great design.

Stop looking at the cherubs, you perv!

To be honest, I've no clue how to grade these either. I made a play for this because it spoke lovingly and longingly to me. If it were up to me, I'd simply grade it "UNC/BU, sweet!".
