Random purchase - Low Mintage 1957 Max Planck 2 Mark

ZoharZohar Posts: 6,731 ✭✭✭✭✭
Random purchase which I bought to see this one in hand - modern yet interesting look with a mere mintage of 370 pieces in Proof. 1957-J West Germany 2 Mark PCGS PR64 DCAM. KM-116. Max Planck commemorative. Hamburg, (J), mint. Will likely sell but this is my way of learning more about coins outside my area of collecting.

    Great portrait and overall design for that piece.

    I've always liked these and have a few circulation strikes. Very clean, straightforward and effective design.

    Always interested in St Louis MO & IL metro area and Evansville IN national bank notes and Vatican/papal states coins and medals!

    Sometimes the greatest opportunities to buy coins is when you least expect it... well played. I would not be in a hurry to part with this one

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I like this coin. I haven't met too many "screaming eagle" designs on a reverse of a German coin that I didn't like. I like this one for sure!

    Max is looking a little stoic. Simple, effective, and typical of these German pieces. I hope that little spot below the eye is not green -- hard to tell from the images.
