The fancy haired Austrian Talers have been on my wantlist for several years now. I've come close a couple times but once was an unresponsive dealer and another I just didnt pull it. Finally saw one come up on the BST so Bob13's hogmouth hits my crown size coin collection in a 58 as I wanted. Looks like a great coin, yet to have in hand.
And then 2ndly a wildman sasquatch Thaler from Germany hit my radar a couple years back and this one isnt a 58 as I wanted but the color makes up for it and has the look l like in these.

Great looking Thalers!
You have great taste! Not just the coin I used to own, but I had that Wildman Taler on my ebay watch list for some time. I noticed it disappeared recently.
Congrats on the newps.
My current "Box of 20"
Yeah I noticed it had 21 watchers so it had a crowd.
Congrats!

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.
Those two pieces are a solid start. Great eye appeal on both.
