    A very nice coin, I love it! The mint was Stuttgart if my memory serves correct and the date was 1934. I am sure someone will correct me if this is not right pretty quick! Pretty weird thing about the commeratives, no Mint Marks show on most of these. A proof like yours is not worth much more $$$ than a common circulating pieces in UNC. I still find that very hard to understand... I have a proof aluminum KM 29 3 MARK 1923-E (mintage 2290) That I have tried to trade for an UNC regular issue KM 29 (I have decided to stick to all business strikes in my collection). The regular business strikes number 2,030,000... My proof 2290. I refuse to do the math again in my mind as I am still trying to figure out why I still have this proof!. I have been turned down all 13 times I have made this offer of a trade, Go figure!

    Looks nice, congrats image .

    Is it a Proof or a business strike? image The devices are certainly frosty enough to look Proof, but the fields & luster don't look Proof, at least not to my old eyes. Possibly an EA (Erstabschlag - First Strike)? In any case, Schiller 5 Marks are fairly scarce in high grade MS, and high grade Proofs are very scarce, at least in my experience. Just my 2¢. - Preussen

    Due to the slightly lighter colored frost on the outer edge of the wings the eagle has a really great 3D effect, like it's trying to give you a hug or something. It sure is a pretty thing.

    I overlooked this on my earlier read. Yes, minted in Stuttgart; there's a small "F" under the dash between the dates on the obverse imageimageimage -Preussen

    Very nice, thanks for sharing. I have a passive interest in the silver commemoratives from that era in Germany, I owned a Graf Zeppelin 5RM, but I sold it, and hope to get a proof example sometime. They really are meaningful commemoratives.

    It's my understanding that these 175 year Anniversary of Schiller's Geburtstag (birthday) were only struck in Stuttgart (F), and were all 1934. I think they only minted around 100k of these in business strikes. Does anyone have the number of proofs?
    Tough call on this one, is it proof or first/early strike??
    Nice looking rarity regardless of designation, and an awesome pickup!

    It's a beauty image . I have an NGC MS65 too, but no pics image

    I had a pic of my 5M Proof, but I seem to have "misplaced" it; but, it looks pretty-much like the 2M image -Preussen

    Okay that is enough of these coins, I do not need to get out of focus yet once again with my hobby pursuits.
