Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg. Ernst August 3 Taler 1681-RB AU58 NGC, Zellerfeld mint, KM284, Dav-LS238, Knyphausen-Unl., Preussag Collection-210, Welter-1923. 83.45gm. Rudolf Bornemann as mintmaster. With value stamp "3" on reverse. An utterly superb representative of this rarely seen multiple taler, bordering on Mint State despite a few stray signs of contact and hints of friction atop the very highest points. Typically found in heavily circulated or more abused conditions, as is seen on the Preussag specimen, this coin has clearly been cared for since it was first plucked from circulation. Long-time cabinet storage has resulted in a deep plum hue permeated by hints of cobalt and champagne. According to our research, the next nicest example that we located brought just shy of $13,000 in an October 2018 auction, and we would note that this specimen is currently the single finest at NGC.
