Newp - Unique Weimar Republic 3 Mark Die Cap Mint Error

1922-G German - Weimar Republic, 3 Mark, Die Cap Mint Error, 28mm Diameter, Aluminum



This just arrived this weekend and is far nicer in hand the anticipated. Although over 32 million 3 Mark's where struck between 1922-1923 I've only ever seen 3 other major mechanical errors which are all off center. This is the only German die cap I've ever seen on denomination larger then 10 pfennig. With aluminum being such a soft metal it's amazing that not only this escaped the mint intact, but also remained undamaged since. Having been multi-struck the design elements on the obverse expanded and peripheral script moved up the walls as they mushroomed onto the die.



Enjoy! image
