This specimen was lot 31015 in Heritage sale 3029 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $440.63. The catalog description[1] noted, "Oscar II 10 Ore 1873-ST, MS65 NGC. Lovely gray patina with underlying mint brilliance. One spot is seen on the bust of the King. A scarce two-year type. Ex: 'Colonel' E.H.R. Green; Green Estate' Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson." This specimen was offered again as lot 49471 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2026), where it sold for $192. In the reform of 1830, the sixth and third riksdalers were dropped for eighth, quarter and half riksdalers. The skilling, formerly 1/48 riksdaler, became 1/128 riksdaler and new one-sixth, one-third, half, two-thirds, one, two and four skilling issued in copper. The smallest silver denomination, the 1/32 riksdaler, was four skilling. In 1855, the skilling was dropped and 400 öre = 4 riksdaler riksmynt = 1 riksdaler species (the riksdaler species remained unchanged). In 1873, the riksdaler species was dropped and 100 öre = 1 krona (the krona, at 7.5 g, 0.800 fine silver, was slightly smaller than the old riksdaler riksmynt). This type is listed for 1872-73 only and is quite a bit scarcer than prior (KM 710) or succeeding (KM 737) types. Varieties exist.
