Does anyone know a good source of East German commemorative coins?

I have a cheapo DDR coin or two, but no commems, I'm afraid.

Frank Robinson, a longtime and reputable dealer, just put out his latest list online and it has a few DDR pieces in it:

'My new world coin Pricelist is now available.
As usual it covers A to Z, with the world's best offering of Chinese cash,
plus bulk lots, cased items, books, etc., in a Miscellaneous section at the
end. A special feature is my lifelong collection of pre-decimal Jamaica
coinage.'

Anywhere but from German dealers! unless you're looking for junk grades, but then those usually aren't listed online. These DDR commems seem to be popular in certain circles so the prices tend to be high for the good stuff.. plus the whole lousy €uro exchange rate on top of it

Stupid forum.

Anyway.. here's one German seller: http://www.beutler-muenzen.de/cat/ddr/index.html
"Gedenkmünzen" are your commems.

What mean DDR?

Deutsches Demokratik Republik, as opposed to BRD, Bundesrepulik Deutschland. DDR = East, BRD = West.

See what I mean There are a lot of good dealers over here.. I don't mean to defame them. I just haven't found any fitting my interests and budget with a website yet...
