Multiple - 1589-BM Germany-Mansfeld Thaler PCGS XF-40 and 1601 Netherlands-Holland Lion Daalder ANACS XF-40

Lot Title:	Multiple - 1589-BM Germany-Mansfeld Thaler PCGS XF-40 and 1601 Netherlands-Holland Lion Daalder ANACS XF-40
Lot Number:	110
Description:	Big Sky Collection. A pair of contemporary thaler-sized silver coins have both been professionally certified at the XF-40 grade level. First is 1589-BM Germany-Mansfeld Dav-9510, struck at the Eisleben mint and surviving today to a pleasing level of original quality. Soft, rose and dove-grey patina infuses the surface which shows very few abrasions for the grade and type. The coin was struck under Peter Ernst I, Bruno II, Gebhard VIII And Johan George IV and remains very popular for its 'knight slaying the dragon" motif. Accompanying is a 1601 Netherlands-Holland Lion Daalder KM#11, somewhat pale in aspect but intricately detailed. The latter coin saw worldwide commerce even in North America, whereby many collectors deem it the first "silver dollar" to circulate in the colonies, with the American term "dollar" a corruption of the Dutch "daalder". Two coin lot.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
