CNG Lissner sale, lot 205

This specimen was lot 205 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. AR 2 Kroner. Commemorating the 40th anniversary of Christian’s reign. København (Copenhagen) mint. Vilhelm Burchard Poulsen, mintmaster. Knud Gunnar Jensen, engraver. Dually dated 15 November 1863 and 1903 P GJ. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 64. Choice very lustrous brilliant uncirculated. A virtual gem." 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. As with many Scandinavian commemoratives, it is fairly common. This specimen sold for less than the catalog value, one of the few lots in this sale to do so.
