    image This came with a Wilhelm Coronation medal I purchased a couple years back and I have always enjoyed posting it, even if it isn't contemporary.
  • I'd like to show this again (it's one of my favorites). The coin has much more color than this pic indicates. The dark area behind bust is blues and reds when you roll the light around the coin. The reverse has areas of every color on the rainbow when light is reflected. The surfaces are semi- PL. Paid a bunch but was well worth it.

  • Here is one of every obverse, reverse and denomination in post unification Prussian gold... All of them look much better in hand but I have given up trying to get better pics of them. I still con't shoot proofs or gold worth a hill of beans.

    I just picked up this Coronation Thaler. It is a quite common coin, but always thought it was cool looking.
    This one has nice obverse toning, and the reverse has also developed the milky "phlegm" toning skin over the years.

    Steve:

    Good pic of your 1902 proof 5 mark. How about your 1901 5 mark proof (regular issue, PCGS PR67Cam) and I know you have a lot moreimage3Mark

    Thanks; I'd love to share pics of the 1901 (non-commem) 5 Mark, but it has been impossible for me to photograph well image. It is so brilliantly mirrored (& big) that I just can't get a pic without terrible glare and reflections image ...I just don't know how to do it, but I'll keep trying. Meanwhile, how about a pic or 2 from your collection? image -Preussen
