This specimen was lot 2587 in Künker sale 439 (Osnabrück, March 2026), where it sold for €850 (about US$1,169 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''REICHSSILBERMÜNZEN, LÜBECK Freie und Hansestadt. 3 Mark 1912. Feine Patina, polierte Platte, min. berührt. Aus der Sammlung Jürgen und Erika Schmidt, Bovenden. Exemplar der Lagerliste Fritz Rudolf Künker 176, August 2005, Nr. 865.'' ([[German States, Lubeck|free city of Lübeck]], three mark of 1912. Fine patina, proof, a little tooling.)"</blockquote> Under the German Empire of 1871-1918, the denominations of [[Prussia 1912-A 2 mark|two mark]] and up were permitted for the formerly independent principalities while the lower denominations (one pfennig thru one mark) were minted to a unified design. This type was struck 1908-14 and is fairly common. The three mark superseded the vereinsthaler which had been permitted to circulate after the unification of 1871. Lübeck contracted most of its coinage from Hamburg but this type was struck at Berlin.
