Found this coin a few months ago - I don't know much about Austrian coinage but it looked pretty nice and was in pretty good condition for its age:

I sent it into PCGS and it came back MS62, anyone have any info on the coin? I only have Krauses back to the 1800s.

Very nice. This is a 3 Kreuzer coin depicting Leopold the Hogmouth on the obverse.

I suspect the 'downgrade' is due to the haymarking and the wee blunt striking on the eagles, otherwise this appears to be a nice choice unc. specimen with nice lustre.

Nice. I always wanted a Hog Mouth, but never got around to buying one.
