CNG Lissner sale, lot 197

This specimen was lot 197 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $96.80. The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK. Christian IX. 1863-1906. Æ 2 Øre. København (Copenhagen) mint. Diderik Christian Andreas Svendsen, mintmaster. Dated 1883 CS. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 63 BN. Darkly toned uncirculated. Only example of the date ever graded." Danish currency endured several "reforms" in the nineteenth century. In 1874, the coinage was reformed again to the current system of 100 øre = one krone. This type was struck 1874-92 for Christian IX (1863-1906) as king of Denmark. It is common as a type but many of the dates are rare. This one is common. This specimen sold for less than the catalog value, one of the few lots in this sale to do so.

Recorded mintage: 1,890,000.

Specification: 4 g, bronze, this specimen 21 mm diameter, 4.04 g, 12h axis.
