These is the realm of the low mintage and most sought after super coins.
This small article is on World Coins.
Quite some time ago when I was just getting into collecting. I was always amazed at the coins that were never within my means. So, I write about them. Most collectors do not know that there were coins in circulation that were as large as 100mm being minted in Germany. That’s correct, 100mm. The design work on these coins are amazing. The Thalers (Taler) in circulation during the 17th and 18th century were not small coins by any means (40+mm). And, some of the Thalers from this time period fall into that super coin category. There are a small numbers of books wrote on these coins (most in German), and are of great value to own, as a good book is a must. If you can not afford these coins, at lest find on book on them if you’re a world coin collector.
These coins are collected by investors and coin collectors alike. Anyone that buy’s one of these super coins, will never have to worry about ever thinking if they made a bad choice. Now, there are many fakes on the market. Only buy one that’s has been looked at by an advanced collector, or that has been graded by a well trusted TPGS. I would recommend PCGS, NGC and ANACS only. As these companies have a very good knowledge base on these coins. I will say also, that I’ve never seen one of these 100mm Thalers in a slab.
On the other end of the spectrum, there is what I would call a series of coins that are super coins in there own right. These are my all time favorites, known as the Swiss Shooting Thalers of the mid to late 1800’s. The German Shooting Thalers from the same time period will also fit within this category. While these coins are more sought after by advanced collectors, these coins are affordable for the beginning collector that can spend $400 to $5,000+ dollars on one in mint state 65 and better. The mintage figures for these very sought after coins are from 1,000 to 30,000 pieces, and are not easy to find in MS-65 and above. The reason being, is that they are bought up very fast when one does hit the market. The other good thing I should mention, is do not overlook buying one in AU,($250 to $1,000) as the prices on these Shooting Thalers do not go down. The Shooting Thaler is a sleeper coin that the Advanced collectors have known for some time. Now is the time to jump in and get a few while you can before the prices are out of reach.

Re: Advanced Collectors Coins
I have read this article many times. The 40mm coins is one heck of a coin, then the 100mm :?:. I could not imagine carring around such a coin today non the less back then. I will be in the advanced collecting in about 20 0r 25 years.
From beginning to end,
life is life, no matter how you look at it.
