    Could you imagine a catalog description narrated by John Houseman?

    For your consideration, we have a superb 1934B Fribourg Swiss Shooting taler conservatively graded MS66 by PCGS. This historic coin captures the essence of the Swiss shooting festival tradition with a timeless design appreciated seventy-six years later. The proof like surfaces have a frosty cameo contrast that would make this coin the centerpiece of any Swiss collection. Expect to see competitive bidding for a coin worthy of international praise.

    WOW - you my friend are in the wrong business. That wordsmithing would get me to blindly bid.

    I think if Kat had wrote up that auction and the looks on that coin, you might have paid considerably more...

    Thanks for the kind thoughts- Really, the coin would sell itself and then Houseman would do the rest...

    There were omissions- no KM number and no denomination - but who needs details?? imageimage

    I know it's a great coin in hand and much better than the picimage Greg sold it for me. I thought I could get it into a Speciman holder and cracked it out of a NGC MS67 holder. Obviously, no luck with that, but I'm glad it has a good new owner.

    I'm traveling on memory and running out of fuel.

    I don't know about Specimen, yet I have yet to see this type as nice. MS-65s are all over the place this MS-66 is far more appealing than what I have seen. Will take good care of it here!
