NEWP: 1629 Saxony Thaler already headed to PCGS - what would you grade it?

Senator32

Recently picked up this amazing Saxony Thaler in a midwest collection of world coins. Already on its way to PCGS, but was wondering what the CU forums would guess in terms of grade. The photo below I over-lit so you can see the surfaces...there is no sign of cleaning and the actual coin is not 'improperly shiny' - has the perfect aged silver look with some color....but having said that this is not my area of expertise so would love to hear your opinions. Will update once PCGS grades and images it.

I like it! Don't know what to expect in this series with regards to strike, but i'll WAG it coming back as VF35.

I'll take a gander of AU53

Boosibri

I could see anything from 35 to 50 based on what luster remains.

Here's a 45 I have. Looks pretty close?

First thought was AU50

I’m like @Boosibri but will WAG it at between 45 and 53.

@Bob13 NICE example! Yes very close. My initial thoughts were XF45 - AU50 so spot on. We will have to compare trueviews once mine grades.

good VF.

Nice taler with appealing wear. I will wager a guess of EF-40 given some flat areas on the obverse and reverse.

I grade it awesome! What an interesting design. I can’t decide what side I like better. Hope it grades high estimate for you.

40-45 depending on if there is any luster left.

My first impression is 'ex-mount'. I hope I am incorrect. Grade? EF

GRADES ARE IN! Ended up grading XF-45. Will post a TrueView in the next 48 hours once it posts.
