Saxe-Altenburg (German States), 5 mark, 1901-A, Ernst I, commemorating the duke's 75th birthday, rare, NGC MS 63. Jaeger-143; KM-38; Dav-815. A one-year type that was not saved in great numbers despite a modest 20,000 coin mintage, thus rarely encountered in Mint State without problems. Bright cartwheel luster shines across non-toned, original surfaces with a somewhat frosty quality to the bust, a few wispy contact marks on the obverse that are appropriate for the grade, tied with one other for second finest known in the NGC census. Pedigreed to the Zeitlos Collection (stated on label) and purchased from the Federal Coin Exchange auction of Nov. 13-14, 1954, lot #1313, with collector's envelope. NGC #5902795-023.
