New additions arrived

My sister-in-law in Munich picked these up for me, and she arrived here this morning for a week. They are three 10DM commemoratives that I didn't have. The first two have what, I assume, some distinct die polishing on them as none of the marks go over the devices. A very welcome addition to my 10DM collection

German silver commems are so great!
You have two of my favorites there. Your sister has good taste
I've not seen the Kathe Kollwitz before.
I once had a collecting goal to get a complete set with all the different eagles. That ship as long since sailed.

 

Yes that is quite a task. I thought the same about the proof versions but that was soon realised to be a challenge to much.

 

I've been collecting German coins for years. I prefer those from before 1933 but, there are some really nice issues struck in Germany after WW2. The picture attached is of one of my German pattern coins from 1913. This one is in copper but, I also have the silver version.

 

Beautiful Coins, expat & furry.....but can't imagine why some people make fun of OUR eagle designs!

Addendum: Not to sound too 'jingoistic' but maybe European Eagles simply lack the elegance of our bird.

 

Jealousy

 

Because it looks malnourished and angry. Let me rephrase that, what a beautiful bird. Nice coins, thank you.

 

Nice additions. Boy, those mint employees must use Brill-o-pads to clean the dies. LOL

 

Yes, I think they were a bit over enthusiastic

 

Here is one I picked up last week. 1860 Two Thaler from Frankfurt Germany.

 

Here's a nice 1861 Two Thaler I picked up earlier this year.

 

Pound for pound, German coins are hard to beat.

 

This is an interesting pattern coin I picked up. This is the only one I've ever seen. !907 25 Pfennig.

 

This is another interesting pattern I picked up many years ago. I have never seen another like it. 1909-A 25 Pfennig.
