NGC MS 66.
Despite being very common on Market this so-called "Victory Taler" of Wilhelm I of Prussia (1861-1888), 1866, it is pretty difficult to find high grade BU (MS 65 or higher) specimens on any auctions. Only single coins you can see occassionally once or twice a year and it is usually sold for steep price. We are offering one graded as MS 66 by NGC. Brilliant-uncirculated with full cartwheel luster, highly reflective fields with almost no handling marks visible. Coin is hosted in old NGC holder with some scratches visible on the front . One of the TOP in NGC/PCGS population. Very appealing coin for any collectors! Great investment item as well!
