Extremely RARE to find in high grade and even more difficult in MS-certified state (only single specimens certified as MS by NGC/PCGS) 5 Mark of Ludwig IV of Hessen (1877-1892). This one is 1888 year production - transitional year with extremely low mintage - only 8940 per Krause... This particular coin has full cartwheel luster with touch of toning close to the edges, sharp uncirculated details and great appearance in general. Some excessive contact marks and hairlines in the fields are determine the grade - MS 61 by PCGS. Great collectible and investment gem despite of some handling imperfections!
