This specimen was lot 71105 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, June 2021), where it sold for $264. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Anhalt-Bernburg. 2/3 Taler, 1733-IIG. Stolberg Mint. Victor Friedrich. NGC EF-45. Pleasantly toned and lightly handled, this charming, wholesome specimen does exhibit a few minor planchet flaws, but nevertheless remains a quality representative example." This type was struck 1727-33, 1742-47, 1750 and is perhaps the most available silver coin from this locale in the eighteenth century. This state was a prolific issue of coinage but few thalers, much to collectors' annoyance.
