Bavaria. Otto gold Proof 10 Mark 1909-D PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC, Munich mint, KM994, Jaeger-201. A most-impressive proof representative of this popular gold type with dramatic visual contrast on both sides between the boldly frosted yellow-gold central motifs and the blackened backdrop that is created by seemingly endless reflectivity in the fields. Magnified inspection confirms surfaces that easily rival premium Gem proofs (PR66), with a minuscule hairline imperfection on Otto's cheek that surely prevented such a designation. Still, a much finer example than is typically encountered for the type, and the only example for the date that has earned the coveted "Ultra Cameo" designation at NGC.From The Kaiser Collection of German Gold Coins
