This specimen was lot 3320 in Stephen Album sale 38 (Santa Rosa, CA, September 2020), where it sold for $41.65. The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK: Christian IX, 1863-1906, AR 25 øre, 1900, scarce overdate with 9/8, surface hairlines, NGC graded About Unc details." 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 1894, 1900 and 1904-05. This coin was struck to the same standard as the Swedish twenty-five öre and is the closest thing to a silver dime Denmark issued.
