Had a show yesterday... and for those that know me... im not a darksider... But I saw these coins and had to have them.

1st is 1705 Austrian Olmutz Thaler



And second is 1765 German Nuremburg Thaler

Looks like the winner of PCI 08 is already decided.

Thanks for showing!

You're right Gx. The Rv of the Olomouc thaler is... I have no words!
And I bet that the price was significant under the price of a copper-plated zinc 1 cent PCGS super ultra deep cameo proof 99 in "only" 1000000 ex...
Welcome in our world Lost Dutchman... you will see how bright is the "darkside"!

If I did collect world... this would be what it would be....

We need to get a thread going for best hair-dos on a coin. That 1705 up top might just take the cake!

I agree. "Unfortunate Facial Hair" could be yet another thread.



Those are great coins, LD. But what's this "If I did collect world..." dissembling? It's too late.

Those thalers...

Congrats LD,

Clive.

those are stunning.

Sweet thalers. esp. the boiling pot.

Great coins.

Did someone say thalers with fancy hair-dos?
