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

in World & Ancient Coins Forum

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

    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.

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

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