My first Thaler. 1871-A Prussia.
It's an ex-mount, cleaned, and beat up, but i got it cheap.

1871 was the transition year from German States to newly-formed German Empire.

"The victory over France in 1871 expanded Prussian hegemony in the German states to the international level. With the proclamation of Wilhelm as Kaiser, Prussia assumed the leadership of the new empire. The southern states became officially incorporated into a unified Germany at the Treaty of Versailles of 1871 (signed February 26, 1871; later ratified in the Treaty of Frankfurt of May 10, 1871), which formally ended the war.
Under the Treaty of Frankfurt, France relinquished most of its traditionally German regions (Alsace and the German-speaking part of Lorraine); paid an indemnity, calculated (on the basis of population) as the precise equivalent of the indemnity that Napoleon Bonaparte imposed on Prussia in 1807; and accepted German administration of Paris and most of northern France, with “German troops to be withdrawn stage by stage with each installment of the indemnity payment.”

I like PCGS and NGC in general. CACG is starting to make thing interesting with their grading standards. I only have 2 CACG coins, but that is mostly because the lower supply of them since they are a new company.

  Risingsuncoins I was never a big fan of CAC sticker stuff … I’ve seen common coins in MS63 and MS64 with a CAC bean on it selling for premium when you can get MS65 (With no bean for same price) it would be interesting see how CACG takes off so far I been hearing complaints about slabs some collectors don’t like them …. Prices are already high enough on PCGS coin and NGC coins now add in CACG coins just needs it’s kool-aid drinking cult followers to drive market will help boost up prices just like PCGS dealers/cult followers who feels all their coins are more superior than any other grading company

  Risingsuncoins don’t get me wrong John Albanese has a good eye and batting average when selecting coins for PQ grading and adding CAC stickers … I feel that stuff should be reserved for for more higher end coins …not the typical average common stuff in common grades

I voted for cacg just to even things up a bit...
I wish the services would return to technical grading and let the collector determine value. I remember when toned coins were looked down upon and untoned examples were the most desierable. But over the years toneing became more and more desierable. So, even though toning has no impact on a coins technical grade, it does impact its value. So today toned coins are hot. They get a higher market grade because of it. But what happens years from now when the trend changes and untoned original coins become more valuable and you now have all these overgraded toned coins to deal with.

For German coinage what I mostly collect I try not to be to bias towards 3 grading companies I buy the coin not the plastic …. I have a soft spot for old white ANACS and NGC fatty slabs when grading was more conservative … although I do have more PCGS slabs in my collection …. I wouldn’t mind having 2 grades on slab one for obverses and one for reverse …

  SilverAge3 right now I’m more focus on working on my 2 , 3 ,5 marks in proofs Weimar years and empire years as well as third reich … I’ve been buying some raw coins here and there that will need sent in for grading probably at end of this year or beginning of next year ….

I’d like to see separate grades closer to NGC ancients. A grade for strike, eye appeal, and perhaps color/tone.

I'll only send world coins to NGC, but keep my US stuff PCGS because they have better online options to enjoy my collection.

You may be able to get dealer to take pics of all the specimens they have, see if one is worth cherrypicking. They have 5 currently. They really must have done serious crh in 2019-20 for all the W quarters they have slabbed, in general.

MeantToBeSpent please let me know if you find any good Rockefellers pop up in 67, as it's one i know you already have covered.
Apmex has slowly auctioned off these Tallgrass pieces, i underbid many times, but they really need to not be lazy posting stock photos (tho they are a bullion company, so not surprised they are blind to how shortsighted this is).

Did you just get that on ebay from APMEX? I almost bid against you! I didn't like that it was a stock photo. I want to try to pick out an above avg quality one.

Yes, for sure we want to provide personal stats to help guide players. It's on the TODO list and will get to it at some point.
