This specimen was lot 31514 in Heritage sale 3067 (Long Beach, September 2018), where it sold for $504. The catalog description[1] noted, "Germany: Wilhelm II Mark 1899-G MS67 NGC, Karlsruhe mint. With an output of just 274,000 pieces, the Karlsruhe mint produced the fewest one marks in 1899, making this piece one of the hardest to find in high grade. This true superb gem is really one of a kind, with not just the technical merits that accompany an MS67, but fantastic iridescent toning throughout, further adding to its eye appeal. From the Feeling Good Collection." This coin is a silver one mark from a type issued 1891-1916 from the Berlin (mintmark "A"), Munich (mintmark "D"), Dresden, later Muldenhutten (mintmark "E"), Stuttgart (mintmark "F"), Karlsruhe (mintmark "G", shown here) and Hamburg (mintmark "J") mints. Under the German Empire of 1871-1918, the denominations of two mark and up were permitted for the formerly independent principalities while the lower denominations (one pfennig thru one mark) were minted to a unified design. This is a rather scarce date.
Recorded mintage: 274,000.
Specification: 5.55 g, 0.900 fine silver, 24 mm diameter.
