The pictures, while decent, do not begin to capture the beauty of this specimen. Most notable, as of now, this is the sole example on eBay of a graded Saxony 1904E 2 Mark
not
commemorating the death of Georg. PCGS population report list a total of 34 graded examples of this coin, 132 of the death coin. There are 9 in MS66, 8 higher (3 MS66+, 5 MS67). But I would be surprised if there are any as or more attractive. The opening bid is a very modest amount for such a rarity.
Return philosophy
:
I can only certify my own grading, not that of a 3rd party, so no returns
on professionally graded coins.
Domestic shipping:
the rate reflects shipping and insurance costs. Applicable sales taxes are the buyer's responsibility.
International buyers:
shipping rate reflects cost of small flat rate box plus insurance, if desired (please contact me FIRST before bidding and advise me what the regulations are in your country regarding the importation of "collectible medallions"; any applicable taxes or tariffs or other importation charges are the buyer's sole responsibility).
