Proof 67 Cameo 1933 A 5RM Germany Luther

bidask

This coin in hand is a BLAZER!

Purchased from ATLAS NUMISMATICS at the 2013 ANA.

Now that's a guy who really influenced modern religion. Never seen him on a coin before. The lines across his face kinda add to his expression making him look even more pissed off, like an NFL football player.

That is to say, I like the portrait

Nice commem, bidask!

Years ago I tried unsuccessfully to purchase a few older Luther medals from a snarly Russian dealer (name escapes me) at the CICF. I wanted two, maybe three of them but unknown to me they were a set (7-8 medals, IIRC), and he wasn't going to break them up.......

Funny thing, a few years later someone pointed me out as a Swiss buyer at the same show, and he came a calling with 4-5 scarcer sliders he had graded as gem uncs; I said, "Sorry, I don't collect unattractive, cleaned coins." He held them out to my friend, who then said, "Tut mir leid, aber ich habe viele davon in Nizza Stempelglanz in meinem Shop in Zürich" . . . . . haha . . . Ziiiiing!!!
