Just joined the site. I collect Austrian and German coins from the 17th to the 20th century (1600-1918). I try to buy only PCGS and NGC graded coins.

Have a few German coins. Would be interested in seeing post of any Goetz pattern coins you may have. Some great designs there.

Even after the Thaler (Taler) was replaced with the Mark do to the German coinage reform. German people up untill the 1930's were still calling the 3Mark coin a Thaler. The 3Mark was the same size and weight as the Thaler that was minted during the mid to late 1800's.

Love that almost brush stroke feel of a painted portrait of that Wilhelm and Charlotte obverse.
Have only seen a few other coins that have translated that quality onto metal before. Have to keep my out for that one.
