plonker Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 08/26/2016 7:51 pm Here is my latest purchases and they both contain angels. One shows winged genius of France inscribing the constitution on a tablet and the other cherub and various educational instruments. I really wanted these two for quite long time at a reasonable price and this was the time. GERMANY. Wurzburg. 2 Taler, 1786-MP. Franz Ludwig von Erthal (1779-95). NGC AU-50. Dav-2906; KM-427. SCARCE Double Taler. An impressive design featuring a cherub and various educational instruments: Globe, book and Map upon an altar. Pleasing granite tone. NGC AU-50 FRANCE. Ecu (6 Livres), 1792-A. Louis XVI (1774-93). NGC AU-55. KM-615.1; Dav-1335; Gad-55. A momentous year in French history, with the revolution opening up unabated followed by the fall of the monarchy in the summer of 1792. Thick glossy dark gray patination atop original surfaces. Well struck with light even wear and flawless rims. NGC AU-55. The 2 thaler is really thick and is housed in an extra thick NGC slab, see the difference with a regular slab. Any idea how I can find the wight and thickness of the coin ? None of the sources including Krause show the weight. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 08/26/2016 8:41 pm @plonker, sorry to state the obvious, but are you opposed to cracking out the 2 taler from her plastic tomb, let her breathe a little, and then measure the mass and diameter yourself? Great coins by the way!

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1852 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 12:31 am Beautiful coin, both. Congratulations. Here is another example of the Würzbug Doppeltaler for weight reference: This example, per catalogue description, weighs 56,14 grams: DEUTSCHE MÜNZEN UND MEDAILLEN WÜRZBURG Franz Ludwig von Erthal, 1779-1795 Doppelter Konv.-Taler 1786, Würzburg. Prämie. 56,14 g. Dav. 2906; Helmschrott 880. Prachtexemplar mit herrlicher Tönung. Vorzüglich-Stempelglanz. It is not the actual weight specification for the coin, but probably very close to that so you get an idea what the coin is supposed to weigh. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 10:33 am Very interesting coin, congratulations on picking them up. Sounds like that 2 Taler would be like having a coin the size of two Morgan's stacked together. Report this Post to the Staff
jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 10:54 am Two superb additions to your world crown collection, plonker! Report this Post to the Staff
plonker Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 10:56 am Thank you guys. @GERMENICVS, appreciate the reference. @spence, I would like to take it out but dont know how to do it safely. I would love to see the edge. Also I would rather keep it in the slab as it is easy to store. @GR58, I think the diameter is smaller than usual crown size coins but it is definitely thick.
