Fat 1862 Silver Thaler

Westfront · Oct 2, 2016

Strolling down random fields looking for new sites yields a big surprise. Our Emperor Wilhelm turned up after many years in the ground. If he had known which double dealers are present this times i bet he had stayed underground. Apart from that it looks almost uncirculated but showing a big scar from the plow and a rim damage. Rim damage was probably my fault because i was lazy. Random field, overload signal with this 34mm chunk and rock hard soil.

Great find, congrats on the huge Silver! Old Willy looks badass with that scar on his cheek 8-)

The Eagle looks great, too!

Very nice coin. I would be hesitant to say the rim damage was your fault. It doesn't look like a new gouge to me. Most can spot shiny new scratches and gouges and this doesn't appear to be new. Just my 2¢

A super nice coin there.

I really don't know for sure Scuba. Could happend during harvest too. It's a fairly new scratch other than Wills scar. With that big srcatch the coin is almost worthless to collectors. I personally have no problem with damage as i don't sell finds. Just a witness for it's history. :icon_thumright:
