This specimen was lot 215 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $60.50. The catalog description^[1] noted, "DENMARK. Christian X. 1912-1947. CU-NI 10 Øre. København (Copenhagen) mint. Hans Christian Nielsen, mintmaster. Knud Gunnar Jensen, engraver. Dated 1922 HCN GJ. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 64. Lightly toned uncirculated. Very scarce in UNC." Altho Denmark was neutral in World War One, it was subject to the same higher prices for raw materials. The ten øre, which had formerly been billon, was converted to copper-nickel in 1920 and struck in that alloy until the 1980's. In 1924, the coin was enlarged and a central hole added. The 1922 and 1923 are listed as scarce dates. This specimen sold for substantially less than the catalog value.
