    Ok ... I'll byte on this one ...

    Why???

    I would imagine that in some (most?) cases the actual Krause values of the coins in these sets would not justify the grading fees PCGS charges. But then normally anything below a half mark does not usually interest me, and I am starting to get to the point where I will probably be doing just the 2, 3 and 5 mark coins ... mostly commems.

    Yeah, this one has me a bit confused as well. Of all the denominations/series... 2 pfennig?

    I would have thought that, assuming German States are out of the equation, that Empire 1/2 Mark and 1 Mark would be infinitely more popular, not to mention the commems and/or the various Nazi-era 3-Mark and 5-Mark series (although it wouldn't surprise me if PCGS never implements registry sets for any of the Nazi-era material due to political correctness).

    These sets were supposed to have been posted awhile back when most of the other German sets were posted. For some reason, they were overlooked. I know it's hard to believe, but we actually received a request for these sets. I'm never surprised by what people collect. My experience with German coins is that there are a lot of sets that look "easy" judging by the prices in KM, but in reality, many of the "cheap" coins are very difficult to find in high grade. The Empire 2 Pfennigs fall into that category.

    Ron:

    Since you went out of your way to put up German Weimar Proof 3 Marks, I posted mine to the Set Registry and have sent 4 of the 5 missing ones into cross from the other plastic (NGC). Personally, I have never seen a Dürer Matte Proof nor do I know of any German dealer that has seen or had oneimage I know there is one in the pop reports, but where is it and is it really a matte proof? My Weimar registry can be found here Larry (3Mark)
