Bavaria. Otto 5 Mark 1888-D MS63 Prooflike PCGS, Munich mint, KM907, J-44. The only year that this type was produced using the 'early eagle' reverse, and an issue that is unremarked upon by Jaeger in Proof format. While the existence of Proofs is certainly recorded by the Standard Catalog of World Coins, with a catalog value nearly three times that of the standard business strikes, we have been unable to locate any becoming available in recent decades, and indeed only one coin has been so graded by PCGS. Undeniably mirrorlike with only some minor chatter, the coin at hand is likely the closest most collectors will come to pinning down this extremely elusive date.
