Another example of quality workmanship, The privateer series collectors box. Thanks once again @Alun

@Sal this was a quote from AgAuNews and was posted in response to questions from two forum members above.

It seems to me scottsdale really wants to fire up these series.
Wrong face value last year, low mintage this year.
They will hold their premium and I think it will increase as long as the series keeps going.
The design of the coins are different than other coins with animals.
The quality of the coins are just really good and with actual fitting capsules.
The marlin is absolutely stunning, such a shame that they didn't change design this year.
The queen looks awesome and very realistic, the water in the background is the cherry on top.
...then again, I think I am a scottsdale fanboy, so there is that.

ok, I'm in for this. Give me a couple of days to sort some stuff out and I'll post what I'm donating.
It's not a competition as to who donates the largest 'gift', quite frankly some can afford more than others. So no one should judge any of us regarding our gifts. Some of us will benefit, some of us won't in terms of what we receive, but it's the spirit of taking part and giving rather than receiving that matters. So I believe.
 

Just to throw something different into the equation, a life long season ticket for Newcastle United 😤 This is obviously a joke and would not stand up in a court of law !

1875  gold Belgium 20 franc.  Surprisingly nice shape as they were advertised as being average circulation condition.

Now that is a bit scary, whilst posting my message there was a knock at the door. Maybe the Austrian mint has my house bugged 🙂

@FFkook The modern restrikes can be picked up for a quite reasonable price on eBay, between £10-20, but the older coins 1741-1779 can go for prices up to £1500, some nearly impossible to find.
There are less than 15 original 1780 coins that have been found, but collecting the different variants of restrikes (detailed quite well by Walter Hafner in his Lexicon) is quite popular among collectors.
Check out that link and try not to catch the bug, fun but addictive.

@FFkook I have collected Maria Theresia Talers for quite some time now and have over 200 specimens varying from 1741 to 1779 along with many many 1780 restrikes.
The historical story about Maria Theresia is very interesting and collecting them is addictive, be warned 😀
The Restrike coins have been stamped with the date 1780 since the year of her death, and as you can see, are still minted by the Austrian mint today.
If you need any more info don’t hesitate to drop me a line, but for the time being check out this site below. The site has been criticised a bit by modern numismatist but it gives you a great feel for the coin
