1612 German States - Saxe-Weimar - Johann Ernst (1605-1626) Eight Brothers Taler - ICG XF-40

This week I purchased my first coin from Stack's in a couple of years, since their merger with ANR. The following new acquisition is in an ICG XF-40 holder, the acquisition risk of which I perceive to be somewhere between Top Tier TPGS and Raw since I was not able to examine the coin in person.
I thought that the "Coolness Factor" for this coin was worth taking the bidding risk as the price seemed reasonable, and well below their pre-auction bid estimate.
I'd be interested in what other collectors of Early 17th Century German Crowns think about it. Thanks in advance for posting your thoughs and observations.
