I would not consider this piece to be rare, but finding one with a good strike and uncleaned surfaces has been a test of patience. Most pieces that I see suffer from weak strikes. The piece was struck to commemorate the death of Frederick Christian of Plettenberg, the Bishop of Münster from 1685 - 1706. Munster was an ecclesiastical principality in the Holy Roman Empire, located in western Lower Saxony. The Diocese of Münster was founded by Charlemagne towards the end of the Saxon War about 795, as a suffragan of Cologne. 1706 Munster-Bistum Sede Vacante taler DAV-2465 Image of the Münster Cathedral Report this Post to the Staff

wcg Valued Member United States 217 Posts	Posted 01/16/2010 7:12 pm Thanks much! EF-45 is exactly what I was thinking also. I think this grade would be fair taking the wear on the high points and the planchet flaws into account. Report this Post to the Staff

I do not know of anyone who has a nicer selection of Sede Vacante pieces. I could not hold back from stitching the images of obverse/reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
