Saxony. Friedrich August III Taler 1770-EDC MS66+★ NGC, Dresden mint, KM992.1, Dav-2690. A prized specimen in all regards, with a deeply impressed obverse strike that renders the portrait of the King soaring off the flan, and the seemingly concave fields cradling his effigy. The reverse crowned arms are especially engaging, with a mixture of frosty details and satin textures that weave throughout the centers. The overall tone on this lustrous Taler still shimmers an argent-gray, while notes of champagne blush the surfaces rather delicately. As is noted by the insert, a star and plus designation are given to this Taler, and rightly so, considering the spectacular eye-appeal and technical quality this piece offers. Very scarcely offered so fine, and still the only certified example of this date by NGC since it was last offered as part of the D. Moore Collection, where it remains one of the absolute finest Talers of Saxony origin.
Ex. D. Moore Collection (Heritage Auction #3051, January 2017, Lot 32163) From the Cape Coral Collection, Part II
