Saxony Taler Newp

This is one I missed out on in a previous Heritage Auction. Although I was tempted I was saving my pennies for a William & Mary Halfpenny that was coming up later and I had no idea how much it might cost. It came up again last week and I made an offer that was accepted last night.

1796 IEC Saxony Taler in NGC64 for Friedrich August III, Dresden mint, mintmaster Johann Ernst Croll

    Thanks, except for the little bit of chatter just in front of the bust it's a really clean piece, but that's why it's only a 64.
