  • Wow, I am overwhelmed at the reception! Not to be self-serving (OK, maybe a little self-serving) I am currently running some ebay auctions. My biggest problem is that I enjoy buying coins more than selling coins, which I am sure is a common affliction. Currently my "handle" on ebay is "ms_sand" (actually, my wife's handle) but that will soon be changing to either KEEWEEs coins, or KEEWEE, or something akin to this. Here's the link (copy and paste):

    I am also looking for some German East Africa coins. I have only two thus far, and I got lucky finding those. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

    Again, thank you for the nice welcome everyone!

    Hello and welcome!

    Herzliche Willkommen!

    I'm currently in Stuttgart so if you need help finding anything let me know image

    So what kind of Reichsmünzen do you collect? small change, silver, or just general?

    I've found it's a bit tougher to find perfect examples of the small change. There are plenty of dealers online but not many with pictures. The best place to find stuff is at auctions. Aside from that shows are great, but the smaller ones are aggrivating. There's going to be a few big shows coming up down south here: Munich next weekend (huuuuge!), Karlsruhe on the 21st, and Stuttgart next month.. I'll probably only make the Karlsruhe one though image

    A good resource would be the Münzen & Papiergeld magazine or even Münzen Revue. I'll scan the dealer listing page in a minute (I think Cacheman might be interested in that too.. did you get a copy yet, Scott?)

    Well, I'm rambling.. welcome to the forum!
  • Welcome to the Darkside KEEWEE!

  • Danke Spoon! I'll be honest with you, and all, that most of the German language I have learned was from watching "Hogan's Heroes" as a child.

    In terms of what I collect, its pretty much a mishmash, i.e. whatever I can find locally. This usually is in the 1-mark down category. I have purchased a few things on Ebay. And for Christmas I received the bible of German coins, the Standard Catalog of German Coins, 2nd Edition. Now, of course, I will need to purchase more coins to have more reason to look in that huge book. image

    I am very interested in the German Colonial issues, coin or currency. I just found two Deutches Ost Afrika coins, a 1912 J one-heller, and an 1891 one-pesa. Since I tend to be a history-buff, I thought it was excellent to have something from that colony. I've been reading a lot about von Lettow-Vorbeck's brilliant WWI campaign there.

    I have been able to pick up some 1, 2, 3 1916 iron Kopeks. I have the 1916 A 1-kopek, the 1916 J 2-kopek, and the 1916 A 3-kopek, so now I am looking for the reverse mintmarks (J, A, J).

    I do have some Weimar and National Socialist era coins, but prefer the Imperial and German states.

    Again, thanks to everyone here for the awesome welcome. I will probably be able to respond quicker to the posts during the week when I should be working instead of surfing the 'Net.

    Good memory Spoon, you must still be a young buck, huh? image I received a copy of Münzen Revue which shows all the auctions and shows through April and that should be all I need....besides a translator that is. Too bad I'm not heading over there right away..the biggest show is coming up shortly in Munich!

    Keewee, I think Askari can guide you along your dark path toward DOA issues. He's really into those.

  • Thanks for the tip, 1jester. I may have to chat with Askari. And of course, my path to the Darkside has been preordained.

  • I recommend turning on your "private message" (aka PM) function so that you can send messages to people back and forth one on one.

    The PM function is indicated by the padlock icon in the top right of a person's post. You can turn it on by going into your "profile" (top right of the screen."
