This specimen was lot 3542 in Goldberg sale 67 (Los Angeles, January 2012), where it sold for $1,150. The catalog description[1] noted, "German States - Bavaria. 1 Carolin, 1732. Karl Albert, 1726-1744. Draped bust right. Reverse: Madonna and child with arms below. Trace of luster in the devices. NGC graded EF-40." This scarce type is listed for 1726-32.
