Silver 6K 1849A A KM-2200

NGC MS 63 PL

I found this gorgeous 6 kreuzer raw and purchased it as a good candidate for the PL designation. While I've seen many coins of this type, this remains the sole example I've seen with prooflike surfaces.

While it is only an MS61, I was happy to purchase this coin already in the holder with the PL designation, as finding prooflike coins from this period is very difficult.

I also have an example of this date in MS65, however, this PL example takes the cake. It's one of my favorite coins and a definite highlight of this set.

Tin 10K (1870-DATED) TIN UNIFACE OBVERSE TRIAL
|
NGC MS 63 PL
|
This is an obverse die archival strike of the 1870 10 krajczár from the mint archive book at the Gyulafehérvár mint (GYF).
As this trial received the PL designation, I also include it in my Prooflike Coins of Franz Joseph I set.

I was happy to get the PL designation on this coin when I sent it in, since it is very difficult to find prooflike forint.

Silver 2FL 1879 SILVER WEDDING ANNIV. XM-5

This commemorative is typically attributed to Austria as the ranking state, however, it is actually a pan-Austro-Hungarian Empire issue with dual denominations inscribed on the edge in both German and Hungarian (Zwei Gulden and Ket Forint).

Gold 20C 1892 KM-2806
|
NGC MS 62 PL

A wonderful first-year prooflike example of the first 20 corona gold type. I find gold types tend to be more likely to have semi-PL surfaces, and as a result, it is more difficult to get the PL designation on them. When I see an NGC slabbed gold issue like this with the designation already, I know it's going to be an exceptional piece in hand.

CORONA 1908 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF REIGN
|
NGC MS 66 PL
|
This coin is one of the highlights of both my Austrian corona collection and my Austro-Hungarian prooflike collection. I nearly fainted when I came across this world class prooflike in a dealer's raw misc box at a major show. I knew prooflike examples existed for this type, but I had never seen one in hand before, and I knew this coin was something very special. I had already dropped off my NGC submissions the previous day, but I ran this one over and sent it in on its own single coin submission.

I really enjoy this type, so I was excited to pick up this PL example. As with any silver prooflike coins, the MS61s leave something to be desired regarding the fields, but for these issues they are so few and far between I am happy to have any example at all.

CORONA 1912

NGC MS 64 PL

1912 is a deceptively difficult date to find in gem grades. I have been collecting Austro-Hungarian prooflike coins as a side set, and this coin does nicely to fill this slot. Though not my highest point value coins for purposes of this registry set, I also have NGC prooflike examples of 1913 and 1915.

This beautiful prooflike example of the 1912 corona was a coin that I purchased raw. After I sent it into NGC and it got the PL designation, I was quite pleased, and this coin became the start of my broader Austro-Hungarian prooflike collection.

CORONA 1913

I originally purchased this example online in a PCGS holder, which I am always cautious about since they tend to overgrade world coins. Once I got the coin in hand I could tell this one would crossover well and get the PL designation at NGC, and it did.

Unlike with the Austrian types, getting the PL designation on any Hungarian korona date other than 1915 has been a real challenge for me. This MS64 PL is the best I've been able to do given years of scrutinizing PL and semi-PL coins.
