Germany, Empire Frederick August III. 5 Mark 1909 Leipzig University / MS62 - MINT ERROR - Saxony

Spectacular 1909 E Kingdom of Saxony 5 Mark - 500th Anniversary of Leipzig University. Rare German Empire Commemorative with a major Certified Mint Error! An outstanding collector's piece that combines the scarcity of a highly desirable silver crown (limited mintage of only 50,000 pieces) with the rarity of an officially graded mint error. Country: German Empire (Saxony) Face Value: 5 Mark Year: 1909 Mintmark: E (Muldenhütten) Subject: 500th Anniversary of Leipzig University (Jaeger 139) Composition: Silver (.900) Weight: 27.78 g Diameter: 38 mm Grading Service: [NGC / PCGS] Grade: MS 62 (Mint State 62 / Uncirculated with beautiful original mint luster). Certification Number: [Inserta aquí el número de certificación] MINT ERROR DETAILS: This coin is officially certified on the holder as a "MINT ERROR - Struck Thru Obverse". This mechanical error occurred at the mint in 1909, when a foreign object (such as grease, a metal scrap, or cloth debris) got caught between the die and the silver planchet during striking. This left a distinct, indented impression on the obverse over the historic portraits of Frederick the Quarrelsome and Frederick Augustus III. Since the error is fully authenticated and guaranteed by [NGC / PCGS], it eliminates any doubt about post-mint damage. A rare opportunity to acquire a high-grade historical silver crown with a dramatic and certified mint error!
