The crown jewel of my Thaler collection!

[Full Metal Digger]

Hey diggers,
It's supposed to be cold and snowy this week. I'm going stir-crazy. I thought I'd share my favorite coin from my collection. A 1785 Tallero, Italian States, Venice. 40mm across and 28.5 grams silver. I just love these huge coins! Thanks for looking. Too bad we don't live in Europe where they dig these up occasionally! HH, Dave .

very sharp looking coin Dave , wished modern coins had the beauty and character the older one did .

That really is a beautiful coin
Fantastic shape for being over 200 years old

That is one monster coin. :shocked04: Lucky it survived and wasn't melted as scrap. Great looking coin.

 

[whammy]

That is one awesome coin.

I'm with Del, wish that our coins of today could have those details. Great looking coin

That is a really nice coin. I wonder what kind of vdi numbers and tones in your head you would get locating one of those. No that's what I call roundness in the hole. Wow!

Hey Dave, I'll give you a Dollar for that Thaler! :crossfingers:

That's probably doable Tony if you can handle the $300 shipping charge!
