The emperor's new clothes (plastic suit) turned out pretty nicely.
Before
After
Sorry, not a big thaler or anything. Just a relatively inexpensive little minor. It wouldn't even twitch the needle on @Zohar's meter. I'm happy with it, though.
I have mixed feelings about the TrueView image. That subtle luster was no doubt hard to capture.
I'm quite happy with the grade. The European seller said it was Choice UNC and I wasn't sure.

I like both the coin and the TV. Neat clip, as well.
Nice and shiny! These are the ones made on a roller press, right? They can be a real pain to photograph with the slight curve.
My wantlist & references
Yes, I'm pretty sure it was done on roller dies.

Nice look!

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.
Looks good Lord M. What was the turn-around time?
My current "Box of 20"
I piggybacked it with a dealer friend, so I couldn't tell you for sure. He had my coins for a few months. Neither of us was in any hurry. I don't think the PCGS portion of the journey was all that unusual in terms of turnaround time.
