Fürstenberg-Stuhlingen. Josef Wenzel "Mining" 3 Taler 1767-ARW MS61+ NGC, Stuttgart mint, KM18, Dav-LS277, Dollinger-32, Müseler-19/10, Preussag Collection-340. 87.67gm. By Adam Rudolph Werner. Struck to celebrate the yield of the St. Wenceslaus mine near Wolfach. A series which always inspires interest among German collectors, the talers and taler multiples with mining themes belong to a class all their own. In many cases, however, their popularity has left many examples carelessly handled or with obvious wear. Certainly one of the lesser-encountered entries of this genre, this imposing 3 Taler of Fürtsenberg almost certainly ranks alongside the finest known survivors of the issue. Bathed in a playful iridescence that can only be the consequence of long-time and careful cabinet storage, this coin instantly captivates. Its surfaces show only trace amounts of cabinet friction, while a few hairline adjustments are noted to the right of St. Wenceslaus. The only certified piece, examples of the issue are known to rapidly escalate in rarity as they approach uncirculated condition, with the Hohenkubin piece, the next finest we have been able to locate, bringing 40,000 Euros in February 2014.
Ex. UBS Gold & Numismatics Auction 55 (September 2002, Lot 2595); Virgil Brand Collection (Hans Schulman New York Auction, March 1964, Lot 1832)
