Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Ernst Taler 1817 MS64 NGC, KM153.2, Dav-832. Edge: EIN SPECIESTALER. Razor-sharp for this issue that frequently comes incompletely struck, with fields that exhibit definite prooflike characteristics. Alluring tone in mostly blue, gray and gold shades solidifies the eye-appeal as elite for the issue, with the absence of visible marks further confirming the quality. Upon louped inspection, faint handling is determined as the reason for the grade, although the eye-appeal does not suffer from it in the slightest, and when viewed without magnification, the appearance is that of a premium Gem (MS66). As it is, one of the finest examples we have encountered and a coin that should absolutely receive strong bidder attention.
Estimate: 2500-3500 USD
