This awesome piece was floating around e-bay for some time. I have an MS-62 yet I believe this is a nicer piece in an old PCGS holder. I threw in what I felt was a lowball bid and ... I won. These are very hard to find nice as this piece given the circulation issues with a low mintage of 6,000. It arrived safely today and seems to have some mirror like fields.

Zohar444- Very nice! Thanks for sharing. So shooting Thalers actually circulated?

Yes the 17 shooting talers were circulation (commemorative issues) with mintages between 3000 to 30,000 and therefore harder to find in MS grades. This one is on the scarcer side.

Zohar444- Thanks for the info! It does make you wonder how much they actually circulated. Maybe many were saved due to being commemorative in the very way that people in the states now hoard modern commems.
