I like these coins, and unfortunately a quick search shows that many prior threads no longer have images attached.

Here are two that I have. I welcome any feedback. And please post your own!

    I like them too. The color on the 1689 6MG, in particular, is really nice.

    I made a little slideshow about the Wildman a few months ago on instagram. People got a kick out of it.

    @ajaan - no Taler yet, still haven't found one with the look I want in my price range.

    @Boosibri - that 6Mg looks mighty familiar - now resides in my collection. Great coin! (OK, obviously I am biased.) Keep up the scouting missions abroad. Like the 2Mg, too. Still looking for a 2Mg and a 12Mg coin for my collection.

    Here's one more I have - a 24 Mg.


    Any others out there?

    Very cool @Bob13. If I recall I bought it in a small German auction and traded it to CRO at a point in time. My favorite Wilder Man that I have bought (or seen).

    Bumping this thread for another wildman I now have some pics for. I've been looking for a Wildman Taler but haven't found one that really grabbed me yet. If there are any others out there - please post!

    @Zohar 's example is S I C K !

    My one and only example is a NewP for 2019:

    @Weiss - your AU-53 wildman taler is exceptional; the detail in the face and beard in particular.

    Thank you kindly! One of four wildman pieces offered at HA's central states in April of 2019. I have thought this allegory / device / subject was very cool for several years now and was in a position where I could pull the trigger.

    Wonderful set. I see my 6 MG I bought in Germany is now in your set. I love the toning and eye appeal. Exactly what I would want in a set.

    I've admired the Wildman Talers for a long time, finally snagged one off a recent CRO EB.

    I think these are fascinating coins. here is a link to a description with some historical information in a SB auction description:
    https://stacksbowers.com/News/Pages/Blogs.aspx?ArticleID=wildman-3-taler
    There is a fairly long article on these in the Numismatist, V29, Nov. 1916, p. 438-448 (using the pagination of the portal, which does not correspond exactly to the page numbers in the magazine).

    @kaz - Nice pick up! I saw that on the early bird and thought about it as well.

    I look forward to reading the articles you posted.

    Here are a couple more of mine, including some updated true views from raw purchases above.
