<p>[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 3212195, member: 94733"]I've had this coin for years and have always been curious as to why someone would stamp "German Silver" on the reverse. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that in the 20s or 30s, jewelers may have done this to distinguish it from a other metals. Anyone have any ideas or comments?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]834342[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]834343[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
