jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 07/10/2016 9:07 pm I've acquired many raw coins but this is the first raw thaler that I've gotten my hands on. Granted, it's from the mid-17th century but I'm a little surprised at the variation in the thickness of the planchet (see edge photos) and how well the devices were struck despite the variation. 28.59g 40mm This came from a German ebay seller. I welcome any opinions on authenticity. Edited by jgenn 07/11/2016 12:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 07/10/2016 9:54 pm looks authentic to me. I have seen rims like that due to collar unevenness or mounting. Report this Post to the Staff

bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 10:40 am This is not a Saxony thaler, but a thaler from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle, struck in the name of duke Christian Ludwig, who reigned the duchy 1648-1665 Report this Post to the Staff
jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 12:45 pm Thanks, bart, for the correction. I bought a Saxony thaler at about the same time and mixed up my references. Report this Post to the Staff
