German States
Saxony. Johann Georg I Taler 1629-HI MS65 NGC, Dresden mint, KM132, Dav-7601, Merseburger-Unl., Schnee-845. In a word: astounding. Both as a coin of this age and of this emission in particular, locating an example that has been this carefully cared for down through the centuries is a treasure par excellence, worthy of the attention of even the most scrupulous collector. Still-fresh luster cascades across the fields, tinging toward russet and seafoam as it reaches the obverse margins, turning to a bolder sapphire as one comes to the reverse. A coin one must view in hand, and one that simply should not exist.
