Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg. Georg II Wilhelm 5 Taler 1660-HS AU Details (Tooled, Denomination Effaced) NGC, Goslar or Zellerfeld mint, KM71 (Rare), Dav-LS194, Preussag Collection-182, Welter-1564. Henning Schülter as mintmaster. With value stamp "5" on reverse. A seldom-found offering that remains treasured in all conditions. In the last two decades, there have only been two other specimens to appear at auction, the most recent of which, though finer in condition, brought the equivalent of $73,330 in June 2016. At present, this offering is the only certified representative, and it is still very much coveted in this nearly uncirculated preservation. We would note that the ex. Garrett specimen, cited as XF in the Standard Catalog, still achieved $12,060 as part of the Milas sale in 1992.
