This specimen was lot 31164 in Heritage sale 3105 (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $720. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Germany|German States]]: [[German States, Saxony|Saxony]]. Friedrich August III Taler 1792-IEC MS63 NGC, Dresden mint. An entrancing representative of this conditionally challenging type, and one seemingly never encountered so fine. A perusal of auction and census records shows no Mint State specimens outside of the offering at hand for this Davenport entry, generally relegated to borderline uncirculated conditions. Blanketed in a nacreous patina and hints of underlying mint brilliance, we anticipate fervent bidder response. Ex. Davenport Collection (Ponterio & Associates, April 2003, Lot 1782). From the Cape Coral Collection, Part II." This type was struck 1791-92 only but is common. In addition to this issue, we note a mining thaler (KM 1026) and a vicariat thaler ([[Saxony 1792-IEC thaler Dav-2700|KM 1034]]) for 1792.
