    I just sold my world coin collection to a dealer this afternoon! It included many of these pieces plus other German items (minus some silver Marks and Reichsmarks I'm hanging onto). So this is a walk down memory lane for me. Thanks for posting. I've always liked German coinage.

    Thanks. I have an interested in WWII so I collect coins from various countries from the war years...in the case of Germany I collect from all years of the Third Reich and the occupying years...so 1933-1948. I try really hard to only purchase nice MS specimens so my collection is currently small. The only non-MS is an AU which I got cheap and I liked it because it has significant die cracks on the reverse.

    Very Nice Swish. I'm new here and love German/Austrian coins. I have a special affinity for Goetz Table Medals.

    Some nice pieces there. :) I have quite a few coins from these two countries (German Empire and Federal Republic of Germany) too, plus Mark and Pfennig coins from the GDR. Also, today's coinage, ie. euro and cent pieces.

    The Max Planck coin is an interesting mix of a commem (it was first issued ten years after he died) and circulation piece (it was minted and used for about 15 years). And the 2 Pfennig piece you have is the "older" variety, with 95% copper. Later 2 Pf circulation pieces (1968-1996) were Cu-plated steel.

    moneyer12 i just love UK coins.......

    part of my specialisation is coins from german states but i have a rather large collection of german coins from the empire to euro, one or two are quite elusive and command a decent premium, one that immediately springs to mind is the 1938 fifty reichspfennig from the third reich. it is generally worth around 20 times the normal value for third reich 50 pfennigs.

    Germany is absolutely my favorite collecting area! Both of these are commemorating the 1870 victory over France in the Franco-Prussian war, first from Wurttemburg, and the second from Saxony.

    A few more, both of these are actually medals, the first is a Hindenburg birthday commemorative, the second is a medal from a shooting feat in Mainz, 1894
