Saxony. Friedrich August II Taler 1759-FWôF MS66 NGC, KM937, Dav-2672. A jaw-dropper in every sense. This is the first instance our firm has offered this type, reputably difficult to source and bringing strong premiums in all states of preservation. Furthermore, this is the highest grade awarded by either major service, the next highest example coming in three whole points lower. Luster is abundant, swirling around the wood-grained pewter and baby blue patina, appearing as a singular pool of toned splendor. Devices, however low relief, have retained incredible detail, really pushing the in-person evaluation over the edge. A wonder coin, surely one of the top prizes in this sale.
