Friedberg. Johann Maria Rudolf Taler 1804 GB-GH MS66 NGC, KM75. An absolutely stunning example that easily rises beyond its peers. While this Convention Taler is a type that often comes in high grades, and NGC and PCGS have seen a combined 15 Mint State pieces, this is the single finest certified example. Even the esteemed Millennia Collection could only boast an NGC MS65 illustration of the type, which still hammered at $3,900 back in 2008. Deep, old cabinet toning with subtle iridescence underneath gives this piece superb eye appeal. In German parlance, a coin that qualifies as "Kabinettstück," which roughly translates to "showpiece," and as such, worthy of the finest coin cabinets in the world.
Estimate: 5000-7000 USD
