I just picked this up from a dealer I haven't done business with previously so hoping for the best. His photos, a piece I have been looking for without success for some time now in high grade.

1863 Baden Durlach, First Shooting Festival at Mannheim, mintage of 12,000, PCGS 65.

Nice I would have never guessed that coin was a 65 based on that photo.

That's a nice pickup Jeff!

That's super nice! Is that a "griffin" standing behind her? Or what is that animal? It's cool whatever it is!

Indeed it is, an ancient Greek style griffin with lions body, eagles head and wings.

Looks like a nice original coin.

Congrats!

Going to assume it will look better in hand - his pic doesn't do it - must be a really nice piece - share when you receive it.
