Newp ... chasing Zohar and EVP

My very own Augsburg Taler ... not that rare, but in a nice state of preservation.
I'm pretty sure I haven't caught Talermania, but what's not to like about these really old huge coins?

<< <i>Very nice, but chasing those two is going to be a very expensive hobby I believe.
Don't chase us. We have a very big head start. In any case, I suggest you do it to please yourself. This is a great hobby, but it's a marathon not sprint.

Congrats.
Is it graded?
I like the subtle luster ...
Is it graded?
Yes, graded by our hosts. The pic is one they took for Coinfacts ... my photography skills remain undeveloped. Like all of my coins, this one looks better in hand

Take the "Chasing" with a grain of salt. My focus will continue to be my type set, and I'm more inclined to buy minors than crown sized coins. But, I think I may add the occasional early Taler.

I have to agree with EVP - its definitely a marathon rather than a spint.....for me it just happens to take many detours and side trips during the journey.
I will take it a step forward and remove another letter to say its a definite marathon and a slow spit
Hey you too proud Paul - that MS65 grade is a WOW!
You also have a rather time and painstaking staged registry set put together - very nice achievement so far and yummy great pieces - I recommend everyone take a look at this collection so far.
Edited to add:
Holy cr@p! It is a 65! How'd I let this slip by me? I knew there was a reason I liked it so much...

Just to reiterate something that Zohar posted earlier - I am weary about this particular issue if it is raw. Several years ago, there was a flood of fake talers coming up on eBay from Chinese sellers and this particular issue was the most commonly found. I quit reporting to eBay after about 20 distinct auctions. If memory serves correctly, approx 7 or 8 out of every 10 of the fake talers was the Augsburg design. The scary thing is that they looked damn good. I wish I would have stored away some of the screen prints from the auctions.

Wow - I just spent some time in your registry set. You have some amazing pieces. I like the 20k Salzburg piece in particular.

This is one of the coins I'm chasing, once I find a good example!

Ya, I really like that one too. Count Hieronymus looks a little annoyed
