Sincona sale 51, lot 3305

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[1] noted,

"Würzburg, Bistum, Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim, 1755-1779. Konventionstaler 1765, Würzburg. Selten in dieser Erhaltung. Vorzüglich-FDC. Minimale Kratzer. (Germany, bishopric of Würzburg, Adam Frederick of Seinsheim, 1755-79, convention thaler of 1765, Wurzburg mint. Rare in this condition, Extremely fine-uncirculated, Tiny scratches.)"

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.

Specification: 28.06 g, 0.833 fine silver, this specimen 28.00 g.

Catalog reference: KM 393, Helmschrott 750, Dav-2898.
