Lovely coins, as usual. I like the colors on the second piece, the tree design on the fourth, and the swan on the fifth. They're all awesome.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Just a couple quick observations:
1) The 1741 isn't a planchet flaw if it occurs on all examples at the same location at 11-o'clock. It would have to be a die problem (a die crack, or die chip of some sort). Regardless, the color in the recessed/protected areas of this one is just fantastic. I especially like the color in the hair curls and in the crest on the reverse.
2) That 1868 is superb! I absolutely love the imagery of the tree and the robed figure! Never seen that one before, and as always, you have found a great example.
3) The Weisser Schwan piece looks WAY better in these images than the ones you posted earlier. It's sharp, and the detail is super!
4) The sede vacante is a great medal. I love the amount of detail in the city scene on the reverse. They do some absolutely amazing die engraving on these.
Congrats again!

brg5658 - I will relay the general positive feedback to Doug ATS. I really like these as well and they seem better than prior run. I learned something new in your comment #1. The one coin that is exceptional and doesn't show as such is the 1717 piece. EVP and I both drooled on it at Kunker's bourse table.
The original swan image was CNG's

totally agreed!
These are all fantastic Z!
Like you mentioned the 1748 is tough in better grades so 62 net is what I see too based on the obverse - however the reverse had it been graded solely is a lock 64 and fantastic.
And obviously it seems you are not taking my advice to read a book or start knitting..which is a good thing as I love reading your posts!
I also use Doug to image some of my coins. I ask him for the jpeg files as well as the prettied up PDF files.
