Hamburg. Free City 32 Schilling (2 Mark) 1755-IHL MS65 NGC, Hamburg mint, KM402 (this coin), Dav-541, Schön-45, Gaed-639. With the name and titles of Franz I. A piece whose rarity in this quality is already remarkable, let alone in this older generation of holder, indicating that its astounding survivorship has been long-recognized by NGC since the early 1990's, where it still remains the sole straight-graded example; for comparison, the single representative at PGCS for the date is an AU58. Certification aside, for a series of Hamburg's coinage that seldom exceeds XF, this piece beams with a fully gem gleam elevated by an airy metallic patina and the exclusion of any singularly notable marks. From the Cape Coral Collection of German Coins, Part I
