Thought I would post as a follow up to some of the item specific posts and share all additions to the core collection in the past few weeks. What you are not seeing is the weight shed in multiple lower grade/common pieces which were sold/traded towards these. This show and related auctions was a turning point for the collection in the sense that I really felt more confident and knowledgable to pursue this with vigor with the aim of elevating the collection to a higher level that honestly I never thought I would get to.
Pardon my poor images on some as well as scratched older slabs which are on their way to reholder and imaging.

1695. Salzburg. Johann Ernst von Thun und Hohenstein (1687-1709) Half Taler. Probst 1878. KM-253. Saints Rupert and Virgil are pictured. A marvelous specimen with a needle sharp strike. The finest example of this type one might expect to find. NGC MS-66.
