I seem to have made an exception here )) 

Will you be getting it crossgraded to NGC?  Any chance of conservation and getting a higher grade?

[augur]

And to fit everything a NGC storage box from @morezone.

@FFkook I have collected Maria Theresia Talers for quite some time now and have over 200 specimens varying from 1741 to 1779 along with many many 1780 restrikes.

The historical story about Maria Theresia is very interesting and collecting them is addictive, be warned 😀

The Restrike coins have been stamped with the date 1780 since the year of her death, and as you can see, are still minted by the Austrian mint today.

If you need any more info don’t hesitate to drop me a line, but for the time being check out this site below. The site has been criticised a bit by modern numismatist but it gives you a great feel for the coin

Thanks! I can read and understand German pretty good(as we all do in NL, I wonder how that comes ), so Austrian is not that difficult, slight differences but understandable!

Allright, I'm checking that out for sure! My understanding is that the premiums on them are pretty high, at least at the Austrian Mint.. 

[Marko]

@FFkook The modern restrikes can be picked up for a quite reasonable price on eBay, between £10-20, but the older coins 1741-1779 can go for prices up to £1500, some nearly impossible to find.

There are less than 15 original 1780 coins that have been found, but collecting the different variants of restrikes (detailed quite well by Walter Hafner in his Lexicon) is quite popular among collectors.

Check out that link and try not to catch the bug, fun but addictive.

@FFkook

Now that is a bit scary, whilst posting my message there was a knock at the door. Maybe the Austrian mint has my house bugged 🙂

Saved these lot from a scrap dealers melt pile. No idea if they are the real deal, they do test at various silver purities. Even as curiosities am happy to have them.
