Reimaging of a few of my coins

Zohar

A friend went up to the recent Baltimore show and dropped these off with Todd Pollock. The template is similar with Brandon's work which maintains consistency. Todd does some great work.

Very nice Z, I really like the style of the single eagle.

Great coins. I still like your MS66 graded 1632 better than that MS67 coin.



My favorite of that bunch is the Salzburg 1/2 T! Nice original surfaces and color!

Great coins. I still like your MS66 graded 1632 better than that MS67 coin.

Thank you. The other 66 is great in its iridescent look. This one has full luster as struck

Excellent coins and images! I love the portrait on that 2 Taler piece.

You chose a peculiar lot to have it imaged.Nice images and coins overall. The 67 taler is an impossible coin to capture as it appears. The nicest and most realistic image of it to date, remains that i-phone image of yours... I have a coin that challenges every single photographer I took it to. It might not challenge Phil,(for it will be imaged raw) if PCGS decides to cross it at 65, but I'm in no mood for such things.

Interesting you note that. I have two other coins of this type in MS-66 (Including the one that Brandon referred to - beautifully imaged below). However, upon seeing this coin raw at the ANA, it immediately got my attention saying to myself "this is by far better than the other two" and submitted it. I am no expert grader to assess the subtleties of such grades yet it was noticeably lustrous and extremely well struck for a 1632 coin. It may deserve an additional attempt to get it properly imaged. Joseph Grano had an amazing collection sold by NGSA - worth looking up.



I do give the TPG credit for recognizing the nuance. I will keep the 66 as it does have a completely different look to it.

Great pics - I like them all with the Burgau Taler being my favorite of the batch in terms of eye appeal.



Me thinks these pics are superior to anything I've seen yet

All amazing pictures, but this one is a masterpiece.

Brandon - no ouch you do exceptional work at the highest level. I am a living testimonial!

Didn't mean to knock your work Brandon, sorry - just saying these above are really special.

I'm curious about the ancient. How does a 2,000 year old coin stay in choice mint state condition? Is there general consensus among the numismatic community or any writings/articles about how these amazing coins were stored, passed on to future generations, etc. Or were most just buried in a spot conducive to preservation? Incredible, just incredible!!
