Prussia. Wilhelm II gold Proof 10 Mark 1889-A PR64 Cameo NGC, Berlin mint, KM517. Of the highest caliber in terms of technical quality, this singular issue features the head of Wilhelm II and the emblematic imperial eagle, both of which are supported by endless rose-hued flash that produces cameo contrast across each side. Die polish lines are noted on the reverse, and other than a light scuff in the right obverse expanse, the reflective mirrors contain only a few flyspeck markings. Presently tied with one other example in this top level at NGC--a coin that we offered in our April 2013 CICF sale which hammered for $9,000.
