German States - Hesse-Darmstadt. 1904 5 Mark, Ernst Ludwig. Near-Gem Uncirculated. KM-373. Untoned with soft frostly luster on the obverse with lightly reflective reverse surfaces. Sold as a proof issue in the past, proof specimens are said to demonstrate matte obverse texture with polished reverse surfaces. While the present specimen could be seen as such, minor handling seems to indicate the present specimen was never treated as a proof, and as such, we will err on the side of conservatism and let the bidder decide the true identity of this issue.
