This is the first time I have seen an oversized holder from our host....this thing is a tank (pictured next to the only 2 slabs I had readily available for perspective).

I see a handful of these cross the European auction houses annually but the condition of this one was exceptional. Many thanks to Zohar for the keen eye and excellent service from James Ricks at Atlas.





SSP - talers on left & right are on eBay if anybody interested.

    Really nice buy and kitchen table images are not bad at all.

    Reimage the Talers for sale for the ebay auction. They look much nicer.

    My old phone called it quits this weekend so I picked up a Galaxy S6. I am impressed with the photos coming out of it so far. It is a huge step up from the Galaxy 3 that I had previously.

    I looked up this thread again and must acknowledge this lovely medal and theme. These are truly artistic in nature, large in size, with some providing an illusion of a 3D view. I doubt there is a deeper collection of these in the US.

    Set is here LINK

    Respect!

    You are too kind Z. We all find our corner of the hobby that makes our heart beat faster, and this is it for me. I know that this focus it is a bit off the beaten path, so I have had to develop some patience to sustain between finds.
