Hesse-Cassel. Wilhelm IX Taler 1789-DF MS65 NGC, Cassel mint, KM535, Dav-2307A, Schön-164, Fiorino Collection-1421, Hoffmeister-2652. Essentially unfathomable quality for what is usually a low-grade, well-circulated issue, and yet here seen produced in such painstakingly careful style as to surely capture on the artist's original vision. Wilhelm's portrait appears akin to chiseled marble, a light stippling and micro-fine detail to the hair coupling with reliefs that project toward the viewer. The fields themselves are glassy and lined with die polish, salt-white pull-away tone at the legends juxtaposed against a gunmetal-plum hue. Quite likely among the finest, if not the finest, known.
Ex. David Cassel Collection (Goldberg Auction 47, May 2008, Lot 2266) From the Cape Coral Collection of German Coins, Part I
