German New Guinea
German Colony. Wilhelm II Proof 5 Mark 1894-A PR63 NGC, Berlin mint, KM7, J-707. A colonial issue that always comes highly sought by collectors, though it is far less frequently encountered in this Proof finish. Featuring a charming blush cabinet patina and surprisingly few surface marks for the grade, it seems fair to say that this coin very much pushes the upper bounds of its already impressive choice designation. For the sake of comparison, the last example we offered, a PR64 from PCGS, achieved $26,400 in our August 2020 Platinum Night sale.
