This entry  follows on from Coinsbygary's  blog entry of 11 Oct 2015 (Exception clauses in my collection).   I don't have many encapsulated coins in my collection  and I suspect my latest acquisition,the subject of this blog might struggle to be locked away in plastic "coin-prison" However for me it was the best I could afford  with a low four figure price.   Had it been a mint state example the price would be closer to five figures.  At this point I anticipate some of you are  taking another look at the photo. Yes it does look like a Dutch Lion thaler (leeuwendaalder).   But this 1600 example isn't dutch!
