This specimen was lot 328 in Künker sale 400 (Berlin, February 2024), where it sold for €4,000 (about US$5,189 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"RÖMISCH-DEUTSCHES REICH, Ferdinand II. 1592-1618-1637. Reichstaler 1632, Graz. In US-Plastikholder der NGC mit der Bewertung MS 62 (6862143-004). Sehr selten in dieser Erhaltung. Kabinettstück.
