My "Whale" Coin from the ANA

Picked up these 3 coins raw at the ANA with the 1632 Taler standing out as extraordinary in terms of sharpness of strike, luster, pristine fields, and overall eye appeal. I have the other MS-66s for the two varieties DAV-3338 and 3338B. While I have never seen an MS-67 Taler in hand, this one was clearly a better specimen than both MS-66s, having a pristine, yet different look, so I took the chance. I feel accomplished in the sense that while not being an expert grader/numismatist, my ability to identify such pieces has improved. I guess that the more coins one handles, the better the output - technical grade and eye appeal.
I will image all three coins (Apologies for the iphone quality - please don't beat me up as it will be taken care of), yet thought I would share.
These are preliminary images of the 3 coins:
1707 Salzburg 1/2 Taler Taler
1765 Maria Theresia Burgau Gunzburg Mint Taler
1632 Taler (along with the other two I own in my core collection)
One of my others for the type - imaged by brg5658
