I bought this recently, and was hoping to receive it yesterday but I guess I'll have to go to the post office tomorrow.
Greg Margulies actually found this for me on the HA site, and I made a successful offer. It's considered rare and unpriced in Krause. The coin was struck with 3/4T dies.
While writing up the tag for my Silesia 3T, I decided also to write the tag for another siege klippe that I own. I think I posted this before.
Note that the Silesia "3T" is so much less weight than the Munster "1T" klippe, which is about the same as a typical taler weight.

Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Nice. I like the toning on the first piece in the OP. The "CircCam" contrast makes the details "pop".
I received it yesterday, and the coin is very pretty in hand. The concentric toning that you see in HA's image is colorful, not a solid dark pattern. Is a small coin though, about the size of a modern USA 25c.

Kool klippe!
Klap, klap.
All joking aside, since many (most?) of us collect partially out of a love for history, does anyone know why I wrote the tag as Germany/Silesia/Breslau, instead of as Bohemia, Austria, or Poland? (Please don't say that that's the way it is in Krause!)
Most times, we discuss the coin's grade, registry points, originality, strike or provenance. Seldom do we discuss the historical background of the coin.
