Lot Number:	102
Description:	Alpha-Beta Collection. HAMBURG, FREIE UND HANSESTADT, undated (ca. 1635/68) double show thaler. Per the consignor's notes, 59 mm in diameter, 56.5 grams. Obv: John the Baptist, baptizing Jesus Christ with the three Phrases watching. CHRIST : DE HEILIGE TAUF NIMPT AN * V : SEINEM VORLAUFFER IM IORDAN. Rev: Archangel Gabriel announcing to Mary that she is "with child". AVE MARIA GRATIA PLENA DOMINUS TECUM BENEDICTA TU INTER MULIERES. This appears to be a nicer example, grading choice-extremely-fine or better, than the last auction event found by the cataloger, which was for a noticeably more worn example. That sold on 14 February 2019 for 900 EUR (ref: Gerhard Hirsch Nachfolger > Auction 347, Lot 4363 - www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=3693873).

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
