This specimen was lot 686 in Künker sale 293 (Osnabrück, Germany, July 2017), where it sold for €650 (about US$876 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"BRAUNSCHWEIG-LÜNEBURG, HERZOGTUM Georg II. 1727-1760. Reichstaler 1729, Clausthal. R Sehr schön. Exemplar der Slg. Dr. Werner Koch, Auktion Dr. Busso Peus Nachf. 273, Frankfurt/Main 1970, Nr. 948. (Germany, electorate of Brunswick-Luneburg, George II, 1727-60, thaler of 1729, Clausthal mint. Scarce, very fine.)"
