This specimen was lot 4429 in Sincona sale 4 (Zurich, October 2011) where it sold for 160 CHF (about US$213 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Oldenburg, seit 1774 Herzogtum Paul Friedrich August, 1829-1853. Taler 1846. Kl. Kr. Sehr schön-vorzüglich.'' (Duchy of Oldenburg, Paul Frederick Augustus, 1829-53, thaler of 1846. Hairlines, very fine to extremely fine)."</blockquote> Despite the small mintage, this one year type is not especially expensive, suggesting that it was extensively saved.
