German States Regensburg Taler 1706 NGC MS64
Dav. 2608; KM# 234. A tremendous near-Gem of the type that certainly belongs in the conversation for finest known, with steely colored fields that absolutely gleam from roller-die striking, featuring undulations throughout that add an uniqueness to the appearance. Perfectly detailed as well, both the centers as well as the peripheral legends and outer-most dentils on both sides display pinpoint sharpness. A touch of pale tan tone outlines most the designs and helps to ensure this piece's absolute originality. Seemingly the doppelganger to a piece sold by Kunker in the last few years, that coin, offered in March 2017, bringing an impressive €7,000 hammer (approximately $9,000 all-in at the time). From the Linda Collection.
