Danish West Indies
Danish Colony. Christian IX gold 10 Daler (50 Francs) 1904 (h)-GJ MS64 NGC, Copenhagen mint, KM73. Immensely popular, a highly collected colonial type from a mintage of just 2,005 pieces. Often found in the lower echelon of Mint State and very rare in anything at choice level and above; accordingly, this MS64 example is a clear outlier, bearing an exceptional lack of bagmarks or evidence of improper handling. Prooflike with strong reflectivity behind the die-polish lines of the fields, Christian's portrait finely picked out and with an attractive matte gleam; colored a bright goldenrod, with the lightest hints of copper tone warming the planchet. A fabulous near-gem of near unparalleled quality.
