Description

Baden. Leopold I Taler 1837 MS67 NGC, Karlsruhe mint, KM195.2, Dav-519, AKS-80, Thun-19. A coin which perfectly demonstrates the immense impact of outlier technical preservation on what is typically an unremarkable type. Already ranking as the final and second-rarest date in the series, this offering is catapulted into a position of utter desirability on account of its essentially flawless appearance, portraying thick surface die polish overlaid by a slightly mottled merlot hue. That the next finest at NGC is a mere MS64 (and at PCGS an MS63) drives the point home all the more poignantly--this is likely the nicest representative a collector could ever hope to acquire. Ex. Goldberg Auction 47 (May 2008, Lot 2507) From the Cape Coral Collection of German Coins, Part I
