Schaumburg-Lippe. Albrecht Georg Proof 5 Mark 1898-A PR66 PCGS, Berlin mint, KM50, Jaeger-165. A very scarce coin even in non-proof grades, this single-year type featuring bright light on the fields in a dance of summer colors, with all hues of the rainbow represented. On the reverse, a quick check for cartwheel effects a similar play of colors that sprit tenderly around the protected regions of the devices and under magnification even pervade the surfaces of the devices themselves. Seemingly untouched by signs of handling, the keen viewer can still spot patches of die polish lines at the King's neckline.
