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

Very nice pickup.

Looks Great………Well Done!

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.

Nice nice nice.

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

An excellent 55 indeed.

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.

Agreed!...that's a really well graded Taler - congrats!

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.
