The first specimen was part of lot 22620 in Heritage sale 3010 (Boston, August 2010), which sold for $431.25. The catalog description[1] noted, "Mixed Lot of Thirteen Coins. We have here a very useful grouping of coins from German East Africa as well as coins from Bavaria, Bremen, Hessen, Trier, and more. Grades range from Fine to UNC." The second specimen was lot 3689 in Stacks-Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2015), where it sold for $675.63. The catalog description[2] noted, "GERMANY. Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Taler, 1864-A. NGC MS-65. Finest certified example. Mottled toning. Bright lustrous surfaces. From the Rockaway Collection." Mecklenburg-Schwerin lies in the far north of Germany on the Baltic Sea. This type is fairly unusual but the harsh cleaning on this specimen relegated it to this bulk lot.

Recorded mintage: 100,000.

Specification: 18.52 g, 0.900 fine silver.

Catalog reference: KM A310, Dav-728.
