TalerUniverse.com is a curated numismatic project dedicated to the silver talers, crowns, and medals of the Habsburg Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, spanning the 16th–18th centuries. The collection emphasizes historically significant issues, rare mint varieties, and high-grade NGC/PCGS examples, presented with detailed historical context, scholarly references, and high-resolution photography. TalerUniverse aims to serve both as a private collection showcase and a growing reference resource for collectors, researchers, and students of early-modern European coinage.
Glad PCGS also preserved the provenance. I would cross some of my Millennia coins too, but for the 1% crossover fee.
I have one with the same characteristics as the Millennia coin--same die clashing and semi-PL surfaces--and PCGS saw fit to put it in a 63 holder. I would really like to compare it side-by-side with yours, bidask.

Millennia coins were generally thought to have been overgraded by NGC. I think many wouldn't cross at grade. Actually, I am very surprised (and happy) this one did.
Congratulations! I'm very curious about how the TrueView photo turns out. Mine is a 62 (not Millennia but likely from the same hoard) and one of my most difficult coins to photograph.

When I attended the ANA Summer Seminar in 2012 (?), I took a short course (evenings) that Ira Goldberg taught. It was based on the Millennia Collection. It was fund to see a number of the coins in hand (I assume that they were bought by the house), and we were each given a signed copy of Money of the World, written by the Goldbergs and based on this collection.

I see no reason why it would NOT have crossed

Did you post about this attempt/plan here at some time earlier? What was the consensus then?

Do they get any better than that?
Not for this particular date, apparently.
