paulCT Valued Member 186 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 3:47 pm This is another case where some collectors would avoid damaged coins and some won't, with me being in the last category if the coin is rare enough.This one is a very rare(Varesi) piastra of Papal States(Ferrara),1708,Clement XI,small mount mark and better looking in hand.The price was very good,at least it's what I like to believe!

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 5:13 pm @paulCT... I don't think the damage detracts much from the coins eye appeal imho. Nice find. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
wcg Valued Member United States 217 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 10:19 pm Bought this one raw from a Rauch auction. NGC graded it conservatively at AU-53 back in 2011 but I would think it is more of a AU-55 or AU-58 in today's grading. 1602 Hungary - Kremnitz mint; DAV-3013 Report this Post to the Staff
Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 10:59 pm not GEM, but well above average for the issue, and at 40mm a tad bigger than a crown! Canadian Colonial 2 penny, Lesslie & Sons 1822 Report this Post to the Staff

paulCT Valued Member 186 Posts	Posted 02/15/2019 08:53 am Wade It depends on the crown.As you probably know some thalers are 38 -40mm (Mansfeld types for example)but there are also large ones that can go to around 45-48 mm like the Munster pieces or some Hartz tauftalers of which I've seen a 52 mm monster!

cableguy815 Valued Member United States 414 Posts	Posted 02/15/2019 4:08 pm Great pieces oriole and mysilveryears WCG - that's a very nice thaler! Paul - quite a rarity you have there. Those are extremely hard to find in any condition. If you don't mind my asking, what'd you pay for it? Wade - Yours is an interesting piece that I am completely unfamiliar with. At 40mm and 28g it is certainly crown sized. Though to my knowledge, fractional denominations have never been considered crowns. Crowns are always (to my knowledge) one whole or more of a given monetary unit. At any rate, the criteria for Crown have been debated ad nauseam for many years. Crown diameters range from 30s to 60s (at least the ones I own). At the end of the day, who cares? Thank you for sharing your piece with us. Report this Post to the Staff
