Christian IX gold Christian d'or 1869-(C) HC//CS MS65 Prooflike NGC, KM778, Fr-294. Mintage 539. A simply stunning example of an incredibly rare type. One of only two graded by both NGC and PCGS, with this being the finer of the two (PCGS has graded one piece MS64). Not only is this coin in Gem Mint State condition, but it has fully prooflike surfaces, with highly reflective fields not often seen on business strike issues. Rarely seen on the market, this example is certainly among the finest known. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $3250 in VF, $6000 in EF.
Estimate: 8000-10000 USD
