Owner Comments:

Great coin. Good luster with a nice, mature light toning. It has a pretty good die crack on the reverse. I have a raw coin of about the same grade but with better eye appeal I will submit for grading one of these days. Until then, this will act as my type piece. There are always a handful of nicer examples on the market. It's just a matter of when I'd want to shell out the cash. This set probably won't be complete until I get a nicer one.

This coin was the basis, in name, for the German Empire coinage. It was widely circulated and is now widely collected. Low grade examples are plentiful, but MS examples can be exceptionally rare.
