I know these get posted quite a bit, but I couldn't resist showing off my newest acquisition, just received back from our hosts.

    Thanks folks. I know these come pretty nice and are pretty common. Still, they are large, silver, old and generally well done. So, what's not to enjoy. This particular piece is so large, I really thought it was a double, except that they didn't make doubles.

    Very nice! Surfaces are quite clean. How did it do on grade?

    Not that common for this 1682 dated broad flan type...

    WCG - I guessed the grade at AU-55/8 and looked up cert and its indeed an AU-55.

    Yes, it's a 55 and pleasing. I also figured it as a 55 prior to submission.

    TPRC, you should never be leery of showing your hogmouth talers! This is a great coin and I would love to own a common date of his someday for the type. Sharing these reminds me of the trays of these raw you used to see at ANA when I was young before everything was slabbed. Large silver just sitting in plush trays.

    Got the coin back yesterday. This thing is so big, it looks like PCGS took the largest opening they could get in a regular sized holder, placed it in there and then put a small 1/2 " length of hand-cut gasket material at 12 o'clock to hold it in place. No three prongs, no other gasket material ...nothing. They did a nice job, it looks good, and it is secure, but it tests the limits of a regular sized slab.

    Better than the old Tombstone NGC holders which take up so much storage space.
