Hesse-Darmstadt. Ernst Ludwig Proof 5 Mark 1898-A PR66 NGC, Berlin mint, KM369, J-73. Mintage: 240. Decorated with a premium cabinet patina and dressed with stunning reflectivity that elevates a backlight of lavender and gold iridescence, showering the devices in a glorious array of color. Alone atop the census by a full two points and from a particularly difficult series to collect in anything appreciable. Previously offered at Heritage in 2017 as part of the famed D. Moore collection, which only confirms the collector's eye for stunning items. Ex. D. Moore Collection (Heritage Auction #3051, January 2017, Lot 32148) HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
