That is another fine piece of Austrian silver. The toning is quite attractive on that piece. I definitely think it has MS chances. I will throw in a guess of MS61.

Brent, my guess as well all depends on how the ngc grader woke up!

Note the different bust on the 1054A (fuller face).

So was he gaining weight as the year progressed or losing weight?

I think they are both beautiful coins pictured.  I hope Zohar you get a MS 60 to 62 out of that coin as well. Maybe on Zohars coin Charles the Sixth just put in a plug of tobacco chew?  The only thing I see that appears like a little wear is the Eagle heads appear to be lacking the detail to match the rest of the reverse. Edited by TNG

My guess they worked on this "new design" and were running the thinner design (from a younger age) until that point. Later years show an even fuller bust.

I have the grade from NGC (coin on its way). AU-58  I have been told that NGC has recently raised its bar on MS grades, aiming to become the more conservative shop. Unfortunately Charles VI here has paid the price. In spite of the inspiration by the group here for an MS grade, it does satisfy my "I am hoping at least au 58 maybe ms" expectation. Zohar |

AU-58 is definitely not a grade to cause disappointment. This is a sweeping general statement, but I find AU-58 to be the sweet spot for 300+ old talers. A coin of this age should not be blast white, nor should they look like they were just minted. Many AU-58s seem to have attractive patinas with more of a naturally aged look.
