Talers received

Very pleased with these in hand. The Hungarian (Kremnitz Mint) pieces come very crude with significant weakness in strike which may be confused with wear. Tricky to grade as a consequence. Technology was clearly inferior compared with the Vienna mint at the time.

Hungary. 1620 Matthias Taler - Very scarce in any grade. NGC MS-62.

Hungary. 1658 Ferdinand III Taler (post death) - NGC MS-62

Italian States. 1794-M. Milan Mint. Holy Emperor Francis II (Francis I, Emperor of Austria) - NGC MS-62. These come highly circulated and in spite of the later 18th century period, tough in AU-UNC.

    EVP, 2K - thanks.

    Painful process taking 20 images for each coin to play with while subsequently spending an hour selecting which ones are representative of the coin, I end up getting a reasonable shot. Still no where near some of the quality imaging I see on this forum.

    I really like that Italian piece, I almost bid on that one just for the reverse design.
