Denmark 1907-VBP GJ 25 ore
This specimen was lot 207 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $36.30. The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK. Frederik VIII. 1906-1912. AR 25 Øre. København (Copenhagen) mint. Vilhelm Burchard Poulsen, mintmaster. Knud Gunnar Jensen, engraver. Dated 1907 GJ VBP. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 63. Lightly toned uncirculated." 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 is listed for 1907 and 1911 and is common. This specimen sold for less than the catalog value, one of the few lots in this sale to do so.
