<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2418040, member: 39&quot;]Yes, all the &quot;P/acorn&quot; type coins are relatively expensive. Here is a hi-res (scanner) <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/s/a9bxvfupycp9wpn/muntalm15p74.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/s/a9bxvfupycp9wpn/muntalm15p74.jpg" rel="nofollow">image</a> of the three varieties. The FDC (fleur de coin) grade basically means mint state.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ones made before the German occupation are between €15 and €80 for that grade. Now the 1944P coins with the text that does not reach the neck (Schulman 1055) is €135, again in FDC and according to that catalog; the one with the inscription almost going to the bottom (1944P, Sch. 1055a) is €750. The really pricy one is Sch. 1056, dated 1945 - with €3,500 for the coin in FDC.</p><p><br /></p><p>The catalog explains that, in the case of the US made pieces, the &quot;muntmeesterteken&quot; is not really a mintmaster mark (see post above). It does not say why the acorn was picked. From what I know, the acorn on coins is more common in Norway, also in Germany ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
