One I absolutely HAD to have (One for Preussen).

Auction just ended.
I was immediately smitten by this coin, and have been watching the auction for 10 days.
I don't know how much these usually sell for in Germany; I was prepared to pay more than Krause for it, but it ended up at about 75% of Krause. Not a steal, but I just think it is gorgeous.
With a mintage of 2,000 pieces, who knows how many extant pieces have cameo this nice. I had emailed the seller asking about the piece, if there were any issues, since it looks nicer than 63. He says there are no problems and that he thinks it should have made 64-65. Either way, I'm looking forward to the piece!
Get lost in those mirrors (although with this design, there's a lot more frost than mirror)...

Well Done.

In the magazine "Münzenrevue" this coin is listed at 125 Euro in "Stempelglanz" grade. Prices for proof coins aren't listed, but they should be a bit higher.
Good catch, coinpictures
I was also watching it, but decided I need to save some $ for the many auctions that are fast approaching; looks like Kuenker alone could send me to the poor house. The coin looks like a real beauty, congrats

Krause lists the UNC at $140 and proof at $300. With shipping, I paid $232. Like I said, not cheap, but oh so pretty...
I already have the business strike in AU58, so this will make a nice "big brother".

Preussen I know what you're talking about, just have a look at Kuenker's lot 1958 (cat 105).
That's a turbo cameo coinpictures.
