IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.
RHINE CONFEDERATION: Charles Theodore of Dalberg, 1806-1813, AE heller, 1808, KM-1, mintmaster initials BH, a lovely lustrous chocolate brown mint state example! PCGS graded MS63 BN, ex Joe Sedillot Collection. As a statesman, Dalberg was distinguished by his patriotic attitude, whether in ecclesiastical matters, in which he leaned to the Febronian view of a German national church, or in his efforts to galvanize the atrophied machinery of the Holy Roman Empire into some sort of effective central government of Germany. Failing in this, he turned to the rising star of Napoleon, believing that he had found in him the only force strong enough to save Germany from dissolution. In 1808, the Confederation of the Rhine was a powerful French satellite made up of 35 German states, deeply involved in supporting Napoleon’s wars, especially in Spain. It symbolized the end of the Holy Roman Empire and the reshaping of Germany under French influence.
