    I've always liked that coin. I tried to win one in an Ebay auction of Prussens' a month or so with no luck!!!

    That's a nice snag, it looks far better than VF. After all, how wrong can you go with a "bird on the head" coin!

    Nice looking coin, and I agree it certainly looks better than vf. image I always enjoy reading ebay item descriptions for this type when sellers describe it as "the king & queen," image when it actually commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Kingdom of Prussia (1701-1901) and depicts the conjoined busts of Friedrich I (1701-1713) and Wilhelm II (1888-1918) .

    Thanks all! I thought the coin looked better than VF myself. The seller is in France and has a wide selection of world coins. I really liked the toning this coin has....heck I just really liked the coin!
