NGC PF 63. Zeitlos Collection.
Even with a large amount of uncirculated coins of this type of the so-called "Sterbetaler" or "Death Thaler" it is still hard to find it in proof state! This one is from Zeitlos Collection - graded as PF 63 by NGC. Popular and highly collectible thaler of Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia this particular coin has highly reflective fields with only single hairlines and contact marks, sharp matte strike of the portrait and touch of pink champagne toning more prominent on reverse. Amazing appearance coin! Great investment item as well!
