Saxony. Friedrich August I 2/3 Taler (Gulden) 1696-IK MS64 NGC, Dresden mint, KM655, Dav-817. A promising rendition both aesthetically and conditionally speaking. Despite weak centering and an imperfect planchet that, when reviewing recent auction records, is apparent in the vast majority of these, the strike remains firm and reveals pondlike resplendence to the protected regions of the legends. A gentle tangerine tone glistens upon illumination, confirming a paucity of distracting marks, thus confirming NGC's assertion of a near-Gem assignment. From the Cape Coral Collection, Part II
