3651. Lot 30080

描述:: Mainz-St. Alban. Abbey 2 Goldgulden ND (1597-1622), Fr-1689, AU Details (Mount Removed) NGC. Possibly associated with the Abbey of Saint Alban. Obv. St. Martin on horseback left, sharing his cloak with a beggar. Rev. Arms. Well-struck with evidence of mount removal between 12:00 and 1:00. This very rare issue has made only one or two appearances at auction in the last 20 years. Realized $2,232.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3652. Lot 30079

描述:: Mainz-Archbishopric. Emeric Josef gold Ducat 1771-DF, KM371, Fr-1680, MS61 NGC. Three-year type. A glassy-gold appearance around the protected areas benefits the eye-appeal with central devices that are well defined, but just short of fully struck. While the grade is appropriate, the appearance is certainly high end, with very few actual marks, and only blended handling that accounts for the grade. This scarce ducat carries the initials of mint-master Damian Fritsch on the reverse. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $3,290.00.

3654. Lot 30078

描述:: Mainz-Archbishopric. Emeric Josef gold Ducat 1769-DF, KM371, Fr-1680, MS63 NGC. Entirely prooflike and ideally centered on the flan. Impressive mirrored reflectivity in the fields and mildly frosted central surfaces produce an attractive cameo appearance. The strike is nothing short of full with all design features having been fully rendered. A most impressive example of this three-year type and quite possibly the finest known. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $6,462.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3655. Lot 30077

描述:: Mainz-Archbishopric. Johann Friedrich Karl von Ostein gold Ducat 1760, KM309, Fr-1679, AU58 NGC. An even yellow-gold colored specimen with an essentially full strike that leaves boldly defined legends and central devices. Light circulation, as is suggested by the grade, is evident, but no major abrasions can be seen. A slight flan wave that runs through the bust is noted for accuracy's sake, but is common for ducats of this period. The present coin, traditionally classified as a two-year type, features the bust of Johann Friedrich Karl facing right on the obverse with dogs supporting crowned arms on the reverse. However, when observing the two dates, several design modifications can be easily distinguished. Most notably, the 1759-dated specimens have legends that entirely circle the bust, whereas the 1760-dated coin's legends stop at the bust. On the reverse, the crowned arms change presentation format with the 1759-dated arms being placed inside an oval, while the later example sets the arms on a shield. Finally, the date is found within the obverse legends on the 1759 design, while it sits in the exergue on the reverse of the 1760. For the keen numismatist, these differences are surely significant, and for a select few, will likely earn personal classification as an entirely different type. With this known, further study of rarity by date is merited. When searching for archived offerings of both dates, one thing becomes readily apparent - both dates are rare. Our research has located two examples of the 1759 date that have sold in the past 14 years. For 1760, the same search yields no finds, leaving us to conclude that it is the rarer of the two, and extremely rare overall. With the combined appeal of a modified design and extreme rarity, we believe the importance of the lot is hard to underestimate, as the opportunity to find another may not come for another generation or more.

3658. Lot 30076

描述:: Mainz-Archbishopric. Adolph I von Nassau (1373-90) Goldgulden 1385-86, Fr-1607, Udenheim Mint, AU55 NGC. ?DOLVS ?R | ?PIS M?G?, St. John standing facing with right hand raised, a scepter in his left hand / ? MOn? ? | ? T? VT? ? | ? nh?M ?, arms of Mainz in trilobe with arms of Saarwerden, Minzenberg, and Pfalz-Bayern surrounding. The surfaces of this very scarce coin are lightly toned with a couple of tiny deposits. While there are touches of weakness and possible die wear throughout, the devices and legends are sharp overall. Udenheim was a possession of the Bishop of Speyer, which came to Mainz along with Adolph when he was elevated from Speyer to the archbishopric. Although Adolph was elected archbishop in 1373, his confirmation was denied by Pope Gregory XI at the behest of Emperor Charles IV. The resulting Schism of Mainz would expand into the Western Schism (1378-1418). Johann I and Louis of Meissen were appointed after Adolph's election, delaying his confirmation by Antipope Clement VII until 1379. Realized $4,406.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3659. Lot 30075

描述:: Hildesheim. Jost Edmund von Brabeck gold Ducat 1694-HS, Fr-1322, Flour-635, MS62 NGC. Obv. Bust left with cap and long wig. Rev. Triple-crowned coat of arms divides the mintmaster's initials (H-S) and the date 16-94). An exceptional example of this great rarity from the Hildesheim diocese. The fully lustrous surfaces are free of notable flaws and the fields bright and reflective. The only example of this type that we can reference in the last 20 years is a flawed VF sold at auction by Westf?lische Auktionsgesellschaft (Auction 57, 12 September 2011, lot 449). That example was estimated at 1500 Euros and hammered at 5,750 Euros. This was approximately $7,900 for a rather pedestrian example. We doubt that a finer example exists than this truly amazing piece. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $23,500.00.
