Wildman Thread...

I like these coins, and unfortunately a quick search shows that many prior threads no longer have images attached.

Here are two that I have. I welcome any feedback. And please post your own!

Nice condition, nice surfaces.

ajaan · December 11, 2017 6:53PM

Cool. Plan on getting a taler?

mvs7 · December 11, 2017 7:54PM

I like them too. The color on the 1689 6MG, in particular, is really nice.

WildIdea · December 11, 2017 8:16PM

My first one, looking to find more.

jgenn · December 11, 2017 9:24PM

I like the earlier representation of the hairy Wildman.

Found these and several others around shops in Germany

mvs7 · December 12, 2017 12:36AM

You've got a great eye for color, @Boosbri. Nice.

Boosibri · December 12, 2017 2:41AM

Thanks! I like the natural color!

I made a little slideshow about the Wildman a few months ago on instagram. People got a kick out of it.

@ajaan - no Taler yet, still haven't found one with the look I want in my price range.

@Boosibri - that 6Mg looks mighty familiar - now resides in my collection. Great coin! (OK, obviously I am biased.) Keep up the scouting missions abroad. Like the 2Mg, too. Still looking for a 2Mg and a 12Mg coin for my collection.

Here's one more I have - a 24 Mg.

Any others out there?

Boosibri · December 12, 2017 11:41AM

Very cool @Bob13. If I recall I bought it in a small German auction and traded it to CRO at a point in time. My favorite Wilder Man that I have bought (or seen).

Timbuk3 · December 12, 2017 2:50PM

Nice !!!

Bob13 · June 19, 2019 10:40AM

Bumping this thread for another wildman I now have some pics for. I've been looking for a Wildman Taler but haven't found one that really grabbed me yet. If there are any others out there - please post!

Bob13 · December 27, 2019 10:25AM

I picked up a couple more of these.

Raw purchase, plan to send in.

And a quarter taler PCGS 45.

No longer mine... I sold it last year.

@Weiss - your AU-53 wildman taler is exceptional; the detail in the face and beard in particular.

Thank you kindly! One of four wildman pieces offered at HA's central states in April of 2019. I have thought this allegory / device / subject was very cool for several years now and was in a position where I could pull the trigger.

Bob13 · February 22, 2020 12:12PM

Finally got some wildman talers in hand yesterday from the NYINC. Thanks to CRO for help eyeballing these!

I like this one with Wildman on one side, and Order of the Garter + (anatomically correct?) unicorn on the other. When the Hannoverian dynasty came over to England.

Zohar · February 22, 2020 12:33PM

Super eye candy - excellent!

EVillageProwler · February 22, 2020 7:30PM

Very nice pair!

Bob13 · April 22, 2020 2:24PM

Playing around with Adobe photoshop. Wanted to show these coins in their relative sizes. Thanks to @RAB for helping!

Sold the 24 mariengroschen. Anyone got a nice 12 MG?

Boosibri · April 22, 2020 4:18PM

Wonderful set. I see my 6 MG I bought in Germany is now in your set. I love the toning and eye appeal. Exactly what I would want in a set.

Bob13 · June 3, 2020 2:31PM

Got a 12 mariengroschen! Need to get some better pics and add to the collage.

jimhopkins1919 · June 3, 2020 4:16PM

Nice one!

kaz · May 14, 2021 7:01PM

I've admired the Wildman Talers for a long time, finally snagged one off a recent CRO EB.

I think these are fascinating coins. here is a link to a description with some historical information in a SB auction description:
https://stacksbowers.com/News/Pages/Blogs.aspx?ArticleID=wildman-3-taler
There is a fairly long article on these in the Numismatist, V29, Nov. 1916, p. 438-448 (using the pagination of the portal, which does not correspond exactly to the page numbers in the magazine).

Bob13 · May 15, 2021 4:13PM

@kaz - Nice pick up! I saw that on the early bird and thought about it as well.

I look forward to reading the articles you posted.

Here are a couple more of mine, including some updated true views from raw purchases above.

kaz · May 17, 2021 5:00PM

Beautiful original coins, Bob. I look forward to acquiring some more of these. Nothing else quite like them!
