Schaumburg-Lippe. Adolf Georg gold 20 Mark 1874-B MS68 NGC, Hannover mint, KM48, Jaeger-284. Mintage: 3,000. An outstanding survivor of this difficult-to-acquire one-year type, nearly flawless in all respects, and with peach-tinged surfaces that are intensified by full mint luster. As one would expect at this designation, the designs have been expertly produced and crisply defined, sitting in total contrast to the low-lying fields which are coated in a creamy, satin finish. According to the census reports, this example leads the certified pack by a half point, with PCGS having certified two examples at the MS67+ level--an important distinction for the specialized collector who craves the finest.
Estimate: 12000-16000 USD
