While I don't see much of interest for these on this forum, I thought I would post and thank @MrEureka for the Hogmouth - for finding and delivering it to Baltimore (I have not seen it yet, but I hear it is spectacular).


The Augsburg piece has a wonderful city view design and great balance of strike, patina and grade.

    Oh there is interest, you're the reason I sought after an affordable Hogmouth Taler.

    Wonderful new additions. Love the toning on both as well.

    Nice newps Z.

    On the matter of interest, I agree with those who feel there is more interest than you realize. That interest doesn’t seem to drive posts or comments though … possibly in part because it’s hard to match words with the quality of your coins and the knowledge you exhibit on the subject matter.

    I also suspect it’s people are busy and a lot of us are serial readers but not posters or commentators.

    Regardless, you should keep it up as and when you are able to do so.

    Agree. The only reason I don't know more about these coins and don't collect them myself is because they're outside my budget. Seeing someone post them on here is about as close as I'll get for a while.
