I just picked this one up, 1869 C 2 1/2 Silbergroschen in PF64, the toning isn't the prettiest in the images but it's rare enough you can't be too choosey.

That is another nice german state minor.

btw - I've mentioned it in the past, but I really like the layout and presentation of german state and world coins on your website. The pics are sharp and the descriptions are well done.

Thanks Worldcoinguy, all the crappy pictures were taken by me, any picture that looks really nice was taken by someone else.

Very nice J. What is the mintage for these?

JCMhouston · May 26, 2011 3:37AM

No one really knows the mintages for these as records apparantly were not kept. I've talked to quite a few of the recognized experts and get estimates ranging from 25-100 for any of the minors in proof. The Cleve mint also produced the lowest number of mint state coins in most years, usually under 200,000 for the 2 1/2 Silbergroschen coins..

Excellent look to this one, and great theme with minor coinage.
