My CICF 2012 HA auction newp

This is a Saxony 1627-HI 1/2 Taler, KM-389. Much tougher than the Taler, and I paid a pretty penny for it (almost literally, since my budget for this is the same as my budget for Anglo-Saxon hammer coinage). The coin is nice, but the image is from Heritage, so it's not fully faithful. In hand, the colors are a bit less forceful than in the image.

    Dude what a nice one. These heavily circulated fractional talers are difficult to find nice. As an aside, what's the technical grade?

    Thanks everyone!

    Z - if you're asking what the TPG gave it, it's 63. I have another newp from CICF that I picked from the bourse. It's a raw coin that used to be in a 63 coffin that I'm trying to re-entomb at the same grade. I'll post that when I get it back. You'll like that one - it's a Habsburg issue. image

    How long did it take for them to ship the coin? My auction wins are still not shipped. image

    I paid on the 2nd. I forget when they shipped, but it was via Priority Mail. I received it last Friday, the 18th. I wouldn't say this was fast, but at the same time I don't want to slam HA either. They have a huge amount of work to do to account for receivables and shipping, and probably try to reach a nice balance of speed and efficiency without sacrificing accuracy. This stuff is very labor-intensive!

    Hang in there. If still not shipped after 1 month after payment, then I'd reach out to them to inquire.
