1711 Joseph I (1705-1711) Taler

This arrived yesterday after a long wait. I saw this in person at the Gorny and Mosch showroom in Munich during my last visit in September, and it looked very nice in hand. I took notes on the various pieces. CNG’s numismatist was bidding at that show and offered to look at the lots I liked and come back with independent feedback which he did. We compared notes and agreed on this one where he bid on my behalf, and won.

Some light wear on obverse yet both reverse and obverse have lots of detail and luster.

    I'm glad to know you're still doing thalers and haven't gone completely Goetz-goofy. image

    Everyone another point that I verified with Z before stating it here .... Those pics were taken by Z himself. Aren't they very high quality for someone that just started trying pics seems like just this year !!
    FWIW ..... No use having all those great coins if you can't share them with everyone via high quality pictures

    Good job Z image
