Thanks to Udo for helping me obtain this one from a seller on German Ebay (those wacky Europeans, only accepting payment via bank transfer... image ). It predates PCGS offering the CAM designation on foreign coins. I thing it would make CAM today, but not DCAM.

This one I've reimaged and reimaged, and although this is the best thus far, I'm still not thrilled with it. The pics capture the color extremely well, but do not portray the lustre and semi-prooflike flash the coin has in hand.

This is the coin that may or may not be replaced once I receive the 2 German MS67 pieces I posted about earlier. Very nice gold-bronze toning.

    OK, I am now a little jealous and missed that 500 mark. I need that mint (E) to complete the series and having it in proof would be even better! I like the others too... Is that brown speck on the wing on the coin or the holder? It may be bad form but can I ask what you paid for that coin? I like to think I do a pretty good job of finding coins on eBay and keep seeing things like this that I missed. I wade thru tons of junk looking for bargains and while I get my share I still find it hard to believe I missed this one.

    Nice buy and nice coin(s)...

    Regards,
    Rick

    Wanted, any dates and or mints from the German Empire, Weimar or Third Reich that I do not have in my collection. I also collect the states by type and Prussia by date and mint. PM me if you have duplicates in ANY grade or condition. Thanx...

    It's brown fluff of some sort that was left on the coin during encapsulation. Not sure why.

    With PayPal fees and S&H, all told I'm into the coin at just a hair over Krause (Krause lists the coin for $100 in proof).
