Saxony NEWP

JCMhouston

I was able to pick up this one in the CICF sale today, NGC doesn't list the pops pre-1600 but the highest I found in previous auction records at HA was a 55.



Saxony. Christian II, Johann Georg I and August Taler 1595 MS63 NGC, Dresden mint, Dav-9820. Superbly struck for the type with ample luster, this piece is the finest example of this issue we have offered.

Great job, JCM. I had my eye on this too, but totally forgot about the auction after 2pm ET. It was 5pm by the time I remembered the auction, and it was too late.

really nice newp - love the collar detail.



What I really chased went for more $ then I was willing to pay.

It was a funny old auction, the majority seemed to go for under estimate, with a few making really big money. The 1797 Gilt pattern 1/2 d was one of those, I was really interested but it went for way more than I would ever pay, it's just not all that rare.
