This specimen was lot 3305 in Sincona sale 51 (Zurich, October 2018), where it sold for 1,000 CHF (about US$1,206 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Würzburg, Bistum, Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim, 1755-1779. Konventionstaler 1765, Würzburg. Selten in dieser Erhaltung. Vorzüglich-FDC. Minimale Kratzer.'' ([[Germany]], bishopric of Wurzburg, Adam Frederick of Seinsheim, 1755-79, convention thaler of 1765, Wurzburg mint. Rare in this condition, Extremely fine-uncirculated, Tiny scratches.)"</blockquote> This type of 1765-66 is listed rather inexpensively in the SCWC. The price realized here suggests that the SCWC may be in error.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.
