Would you please stop posting these incredible coins, you are making me crazy...just kidding. Wow, more beautiful thalers. Your collection has become an inspiration. I have yet to jump in and buy my first one but I have started looking. I did buy the book you told me about so I have also been reading.

Fully agree, wheezy. I think Zohar has sparked an interest in these Talers for a lot of us.
