I think I won it yet not sure as I have not received an email confirmation. Uncommon type, especially in mint state.
1665 Austria. Archduke Sigismund Francis of Further Austria (1662-1665) Taler. Hall Mint. DAV-3370. Quite scarce and seldom found in such condition and eye appeal. NGC MS-65.
Will upgrade this one.

I suspect it is just the pictures and your 62 looks like a technical 58 with a little "Cabinet Friction" on the high points. I like the overall look of the 62 than your newp!
i had people look at the coin and the consensus is that it’s sharper and quite eye appealing - the kunker images do not get the toning/luster as professional imaging does. Will wait to see it in hand.

Based on the auction image and the NGC one - i think you'll be happy with how it looks in-hand. Congrats on your new addition!
Congrats Z - that is a real beauty. I am sure that there were many eyes following it in that venue. Very crisp details.
