The other day I received, for a second time, my 1776 Maria Theresia Taler, after it was graded, thanks to @Numistacker. Some might describe the grading result as a disaster but I still like it, it's still AU and it was conserved so it is almost as shiny as a new bullion coin, now. My first graded coin - I would have imagined the NGC slabs bigger, from the photos and videos. They are actually quite handy. Given the "detail" result, I will probably still get it out of the slab and put it into a capsule with a foam ring. It still makes a very nice, historical, ungraded coin.

Many will know the design from the 1950 Saudi Arabian Guinea but this is the Silver Riyal. Unfortunately the photos don't do it justice 


 
 
very nice cartwheel lustre 

Picked up at my LCS today.  I've been wanting to get one of these 10 oz silver Britannia bars for a while now.  Fantastic looking bar.

Well, I don't have any other interesting coins like this. I can more or less tick off silver in my stacking strategy now as I have enough (well, not really but space is an issue already), apart from historic coins like this and now I'm focusing on bullion gold, mainly Sovereigns, with the odd seminumismatic or even odder full numismatic piece. And on more Maria Theresia Talers (and possibly other Talers as well). The shop where I bought it, they said, they get about 3 a year and that was abroad. I don't think I would buy such a coin on let's say ebay. I will try and get more of them, though.

I know, detail grades are a pain but don't let this put you off. Use it to increase your knowledge and submit other interesting coins like this, it's a plus to the numismatic market in my opinion. 
That said from someone who had two details coins in his last submission... 😬

2005 5 Sovereign 
getting into collecting the 5 sovereign can be expensive hobby! 

This 1 gram Heraeus gold bar arrived in record time from @goldmember44. Considering the distance it travelled I'm impressed that it only took under 18 hours.

Two 2 oz Antiqued Silver Dragon & Phoenix Coins (2019) from The Perth Mint.
Not sure my camera does them justice - they are quite stunning ...

If you do add other coins (and you should), make them separate pages to keep that minimal, clean page.

I really appriciate your positive feedback but I think someone else deserves it more than me as I have never sold anything on the silver forum. 😉
