Very RARE in high grade and even more scarce in MS-certified condition 5 Mark of Albert of Saxony (1873-1902), regular and pre-reform issue. This particular coin has dull luster through the obverse with some single spot and touch of toning towards the edges, fully lustrous reverse with sharp details of the type 2 Imperial Eagle. Great uncirculated condition and well-deserved MS 62 grade from PCGS. Perfect collectible and investment coin!!
