spoon · January 3, 2009 10:10AM

Well, Friday's already taken by the dastardly Brits

Post your German or German related coins, tokens, medals or other round metal thingies

(Just let us know where they're from if it's some oddball state or local issue.)

Prussia 3Mk, 1913 - Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Napoleon's defeat
OBV: The King called and all came / With God - for King and Fatherland

Prussia, 1545

And, not German, but loosely related:
A roman commemorative of the defeat of the Alamanni ("Alamannia Devicta"). Crispus (son of Constantine) as caesar, c325.

Nothing too special, but this one fills a hole:

A couple more:

A smaller view of Nuremberg (btw, I just had some good lebkuchen!

)

I still kind of like my avatar... Well, only one side is my avatar... Please imagine the green tint as golden. I really have to shoot more pics of this coin sometime to try and capture the true colors. It really is quite beautiful and looks much better than these pics when held in hand!

I am also kind of fond of this one:

Another coin I need to take more pics of, please forgive me for not taking the coin out of the 2X2... The purple really pops out in hand with some gold and blue to make it a true eye popper! OK, so I need to take some photography lessons

I already like this thread and will be back many more times to see the goodies that are posted!

I can't wait to see more entries from the German heavy weights here...

And my 1911 MS66:

Rickc300 · January 10, 2009 6:12PM

OMGosh... That first 1 mark is incredible JimK, the second is pretty gooooood looking too! I think I may have been the first under bidder on at least one of those... Spoon, The Nuremberg stuff ranks right up there in the OMG kind of looking stuff as well. Got any duplicates you want to trade? Nice stuff! Wildjag your Hannover coinage especially the 4 pfennig ranks as a I gotta have one that looks like that! NICE Coin(s).
To the Prussian king, Pruessen, your medal is quite nice and one I would be interested in if you are willing to trade it, and Jsayre that 16 groschen is just as incredible looking. Nice coins everyone and equally good pics as well!

BTW, Preussen, you are at 1999 posts... I would like to be the first to enter your 2000 post give-a-way! I would also like to thank you for your posts and the information you share with us here on the forums! To bad your avatar was sold, that would have been a great give-a-way!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and pics here for us neophites.

Thanks, but it's not for sale or trade.

<< BTW, Preussen, you are at 1999 posts... I would like to be the first to enter your 2000 post give-a-way! >>

I thought of doing a give away @ 2000 because I haven't done one in quite a while, but I honestly don't have anything to give right now

Maybe I'll do another later on. -Preussen

goossen · January 14, 2009 12:04AM

Wonderful stuff as usual!!

Thank you. I have several other 4 pfennigs that are nicer, but no photos taken of them right now. Here are some others you might like from Hannover

I'm kinda surprised this thread hasn't broken 30 posts yet! Where is everyone!

Some kreuzers from Baden:

ASUtodd · January 31, 2009 7:28AM

Nothing real special, but I like the design!

JimK · January 31, 2009 7:50AM

I just got another submission back from PCGS yesterday. Here are some of the nicer ones:

1886D

1899D nice colors

1912D

1913F Nice strike and color

4 of the 6 were top pops so I am not complaining!

ASUtodd · January 31, 2009 7:54AM

JimK... is that the Commemorative "Invisible" coin from German???

JimK · January 31, 2009 7:59AM

SYRACUSIAN · January 31, 2009 8:08AM

Needless to say that this, just as many other coins I posted in similar image threads, are no longer mine. This one found a welcome home here at the Darkside. A spectacular toner.

IstilllikeZARcoins · January 31, 2009 8:09AM

Ex-Eliasberg German Gold:

Both for sale just PM to enquire:

That coin looks familiar

-Preussen

ASUtodd · January 31, 2009 11:26AM

It does come with it's own set of fingerprints!!! I guess this is one coin you could actually recover if ever stolen!

ASUtodd · January 31, 2009 12:05PM

I like the looks of this one... I'm usually not into toning but this one has real nice eye appeal...

ASUtodd · January 31, 2009 12:11PM

I used to love the old fairy tale books my mom would buy me... This coin celebrates the Brothers Grimm.... I just could not, for the life of me, get this coin pictured right... It is such a fascinating coin!

coinkat · January 31, 2009 9:27PM

terrific coins Jim AND GREAT SUBMISSION RESULTS

JimK · February 1, 2009 9:58AM

Thank you Mr. Coinkat

This submission also put me over the top on 4 of the 6 registry sets finest ever honors!

Does this qualify?

Bjorn · February 7, 2009 9:32PM

Ormandh: Really like that second Baden kreuzer... I've always thought the obverse of that entire series was a good design...

DeepSix: Good to see another Bremen coin on here!
