1756-ICB, German States. Regensburg. Free City Taler (in the name of Franz I (1745-1765). Regensburg Mint. DAV-2618; KM-372. Cr-45a. Perfectly struck, with the most intricate details of the buildings and portrait apparent in stark detail, the fields watery, and semi-prooflike in nature, and decorated with a sheen of rich, mauve patina. Perhaps the ultimate example of this beautiful type that captures the heart of the Baroque "city view" artistic style, The finest for the date by two full grade points at NGC, and indeed the only GEM example graded by either service for all dates of the series. NGC MS-65.

Beautiful coin.
Every little speck of detail just pops on that city view, which really makes it quite captivating to look at.
Congratulations.
What a beautiful coin! Really really nice! I love the city view design and even the roofing is so sharp.
I do have a quick question ... for European crowns ... do you prefer PCGS or NGC?
Thanks - I uae both with a tilt to NGC. Generally look at coin then the technical grade.
