What type is that? I just bought a 1927-A Oak Tree 5-mark at the FUN show.
Gilt brass or bronze, I believe. Not tombac.
Very nice example of a very historical issue! For a relatively new collector of World coins (if I remember correctly), you seem to have pretty...
What a privilege it must be to be able to handle this stuff.

Diving into junkboxes like that used to be my favorite thing to do!
I saw Pete the Greek at FUN. Was the Perry you mentioned an Ancients dealer?
Our own US 50-cent pieces on this side of the pond circulate so seldom that the recipient’s eyebrows might rise a little when you spend one....
