I have been chewing my nails waiting for this one to arrive. It is a 1 year type sede vacante taler from Cologne that depicts the Nativity scene. I am intrigued by the somewhat unrefined nature of the coin's design. It has some slightly cleaned areas on either side of the figure on the obverse, but nevertheless it is a keeper.
Also interesting to note are the raised bumps above the keys on the obverse. I was suspicious when I noticed them in the seller's pics, but upon review of other examples on coinarchives.com, it looks like similar bumps are found on the handful issues they had available.

That is sharp though, and one of the reasons I am getting sucked into this field as well.
