trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 5:19 pm One more coin from the collection I'm considering buying. I didn't weigh it because I didn't have a coin flip with me to put it in afterwards. Measures about 39-40 mm. Looking for grade opinions & any idea about value. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 5:49 pm @trd, I can't speak to whether it is real, but these 16th century Thalers are gorgeous. So much surface area for the engravers to work!

samoth Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 6:18 pm The attribution is Davenport 9091 (Dav-9091). I'd grade it aVF, but I'm not familiar with the specific type. It'd probably grade VF in a US slab. It has nice color & smooth surfaces, but there's a dark spot at K-12 on the reverse edge near the rim I'd want to see closer to make sure it's not ex-mount. I don't know about valuation, but you can use the attribution to run comps from recent auction PRs. I see nice, mid-grade, problem-free talers around this age start around $400 for common issues and increase with rarity. Report this Post to the Staff

trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 01/15/2023 08:12 am I did some web research before I posted. I was able to find a few graded examples to compare with. This is definitely outside my wheelhouse but my impression was that the reverse didn't have enough detail for VF. I believe the dark spot at K12 is a shadow from the 2x2.
