Frankfurt. Free City Taler 1772 PCB-OE MS63 NGC, KM251, Dav-2226. An impressively original Mint State example of this conditionally rare issue. Relatively available in lesser conditions, to find one in this choice, uncleaned state, with the look of a Taler that has spent years in a collectors, is very difficult. This piece has lustrous argent-gray patina, with touches of darker gray toning. The strike is bold and there are a few, barely noticeable flan flaws, but almost no contact marks worthy of note. A wonderful city/waterfront view and a coin for any collection.
Estimate: 2000-2200 USD
