I did not even mean to buy this coin. I had added it to my cart but went back to delete it and my fat thumb must have clicked "buy". I knew the bad habit of having a card already on file and address already pre-filled with a dealer would bite me in the butt eventually. LOL. That being said, it's not a bad mistake. It is a pretty and historic token, and I have been meaning to add more historical tokens to my collection. The obverse is No. 5 and the reverse is H. Not the rarest combination, but also not one of the more common ones either. Feel free to post your own tokens.
I think these are so cool. I had one on my list when I was going to a show a few years back before I went I leaned on a buddy of mine that teaches German and made him teach me how to properly pronounce "Feuchtwanger".
Doesn’t look like a mistake to me, that’s really nice! I’ll send you my mailing address if you don’t want to keep it…
…so, is it “ fyoot-vahn-ger”…? I’m of Dutch-German ancestry but I don’t speak German fluently, just individual common nouns and such. My son is fluent but I can’t reach him just now, he’s at the airport working on a Dassault-Falcon jet.
If I was to try to show it I would probably do it like Foicht-Vong-Hur.... Except the "ch" in Foicht is not a sound my mouth can make very well!...... I spent three years in Germany in the Army. I could order a beer and tell a lady I wanted to date her. That was about the extent of my German!
That last part reminds me of a contractor (MJF Electric) I worked for while I was still in the union. I thought it was a joke when I saw his name written out, "Michael J. Fuchs." I was corrected rather promptly when I guessed wrong the first time LOL! (It was pronounced Fyooks)
