NEWP: 1655 Ferdinand III (1637-1657) Taler

ZoharZohar Posts: 6,688 ✭✭✭✭✭
This one arrived yesterday from the Bowers - Stack's Auction. Ferdinand III issues from the Vienna mint do not surface as often in high grades as they do from the Kremnitz mint. Both share a crude minting process relative to the more advanced Hall mint technology of the time.

    Very nice. I got my pieces in last week also, the little 1 Kreuzer Gold pattern is just too cute.

    Thanks guys.

    I sense the upward price trends I am seeing for these in recent auctions will slow me down...

    Zohar - maybe if you stopped buying, then the upward price trend you are seeing may slow down!!!

    Funny you say that... When I was married, I was afraid to spend much money on coins. I once spent $4K over a two-month period, and my wife wasn't pleased. (She didn't say much, but I could feel the chill in the air.) Now she is my ex, and I wish she were still around to keep me under control. I've completely lost control and am thinking of selling my blood (among other things) for more money. So sad... image

    You need to leave the liteside collecting. Darkside gets you more per $ spent.

    The $4K was for dark side stuff. Two talers, neither of which graded out as hoped. Grrr...
