NGC forgot to mark it as a commemorative. It commemorates the death of Grand Duke Friedrich The First of Baden in 1907. I've spent the last ten years trying to assemble a set of 19th and 20th century German Commemoratives. I think I'll have to live to be 100 years old just to complete it. But it's sure fun trying to do it.

Please post photos of your other commemoratives if you have the pics. #2 I like the hat on the 2nd 2-Mark coin. It is the same used on the Tanganyika Rupee coins.

They are really not to expensive for a little lessor grades. I collect these also but its really difficult to pick up the 1880s-1890s issues. I have several extras I have listed on eBay this week but not as high of a grade as yours. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=320369960033 . The 2 and 3 Mark coins are not to hard to find either but all the 5 Mark coins are a lttle tough to find. What ofer issues you have in your collection?
