Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 8:02 pm I dont have the KM identifier for this Austrian-Netherlands Thaler - can anyone help here? Thanks much, Zohar Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 8:38 pm Zohar444- it is KM#32 (P. 79 of the new 18th cent. standard catalog) Very nice looking coin. I'm surprised that this KM# doesn't have a mint mark. I actually have a similar one from Milan, Italy. Report this Post to the Staff
Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 8:39 pm Thanks ! I believe it is the Brussels Mint. Does this show as that KM# for non-mint mark coins? Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 8:46 pm No problem at all. Yes, there is no mint mark on coins from that mint for the years 1781-1790. It is amazing how cheap these Kronenthalers are since they are very nice looking and are brimming over with history. Report this Post to the Staff
Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 8:48 pm Thanks much - indeed reasonable this one cost $60. Not bad for such a nice 1784 coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 8:58 pm That is close to melt ! Great buy. What is the KM for that one, I have a 1794-M. Zohar Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 9:02 pm Thanks. My dealer really discounts foreign coins since I live in a part of the country where collectors are, well, rather provincial and narrow minded. And he has even said "If I don't sell it to you and give you a good deal, I'll have it for the next 20 years." This is C#59.1 How long ago did you get your 1794 M? Just for curiosity sake, do you have any pics? Edited by Archraz 10/01/2008 9:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 10:03 pm Ah, very nice. Thanks for the scans! Out of curiosity, which grading company slabbed that? Report this Post to the Staff
Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 10:05 pm Zohar grading company - seriously, I bought the slabs - http://www.amosadvantage.com/scotto...no=&Tab=coin to store the nice crowns. Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 10:25 pm hmm interesting. Not a bad way to store coins. Well, thanks for all of the info and the pics. One last question for you though: for how long have you been collecting Thalers? Report this Post to the Staff
Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 10:28 pm 2 years and change. My strategy is to refocus my German State Crowns (Baden, Prussia, Hamburg, Wurttemberg etc) on the Habsburg reign of Europe. On the US front, I collect Morgan, Peace (certified), a few key dates of each type (certified) as well as 3 Cent Nickel pieces. I am selling off the rest of my sets to fund the Thaler sets. In general, I have yet to find a trading partner for German State Crowns on this forum, so I opt for ebay to raise funds. How long have you been collecting the Reales? If I had to guess, I will be collecting these one day :) Cheers, Zohar Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 11:06 pm I started off on US coins a little over 10 years ago. I dabbled in a little of everything US, and tried to collect what circulated in the American colonies. This is how I got my first 8 reales around 2001. I bought a couple of other 8's, but soon thereafter I started to feel a bit frustrated with US coins. Something just seemed odd about silver dollars that have mintages in the tens of millions having such large price tags. My collecting focus shifted to foreign coins. So now I just buy whatever strikes my fancy when I visit my local dealer or go to an occasional show, but there is a hierarchy to what I collect in that I am more serious about collecting certain KM types of coins over others. 8's have remained at the head of that ever since. I highly recommend venturing into 8 Reales since they were coins of the entire world due to the breadth of their circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 10/01/2008 11:12 pm Sounds like we share a similar path. Where do you mostly buy them? What is the price range for VF grade range? Report this Post to the Staff
