GERMANY. Waldeck-Pyrmont. 5 Mark, 1903-A. Berlin Mint. Friedrich I. PCGS MS-66 Gold Shield.
Dav-930; KM-192; J-171. Mintage: 2,000. The finest certified at PCGS and tied with just one other at NGC, this stunningly attractive, wholly superb Gem displays much of the original mint luster, especially when cradled back and forth in one's hand. An argent-steely gray central area on the obverse yields to a deeper peripheral tone composed of olive and burnished amber, while a subtle violet nature dominates much of the reverse. An incredibly captivating crown that will undoubtedly entice.
Estimate: $12000 - $15000
