NEWP: Scarce 1715/3 Transylvania Taler

Zohar · October 5, 2012 10:11AM

Received this very challenging piece which I had to stretch for, make a decision quickly, while paying a very fair price even if high. Seldom seen, scarce in any grade. I can only imagine very low mintage to start with.

1715/3. Charles VI (1711-1740) Taler.
Transylvania. Siebenbürgen Mint
DAV-1101
NGC MS-61.

One of the scarcest pieces in my collection. Only piece graded mint state piece by either grading service for this variety. Only three Charles VI pieces in total. Beautiful toning over remaining luster. Overdate to boot.

Sweet addition zohar!

Very cool, and much nicer looking than the grade would indicate.

Zohar, I don't post here much, but I really like your selections.

Another great addition, Zohar. Last night my brother remarked that he's happy you're not collecting German takers

Congratulations on a marvelous coin!

I must say that this and several recent posts on thalers have impacted my collecting habits. The darkside has me!

You mean that's not his hair?

Oh Man! So many things to collect and so little cash to purchase it. Great looking coins and medals. I can only drool. Thanks for the great pictures. They really capture the exsquite pieces of art that they are.

Zohar - Are you convinced that this is an overdate? I have no opinion yet, but the under-digit isn't immediately obvious.

I didn't realize Charles VI played guitar with Queen.

There is definitely something there yet not sure about the digit and whether this is simply a planchet issue as I couldnt zoom in enough.
