[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 24682829, member: 5233"]Just arrived today...my first purchase through Great Collections. This is a 1913-A 3 Mark silver coin from the Kingdom of Prussia. This was a 1 year circulation issue (replacing the standard 3 mark issue) which commemorated Wilhelm II's 25 years on the Prussian and German Imperial thrones. One of my all-time favorite designs, I jumped on this coin due to the unusually stunning toning (something often not present on European silver). Very happy with the purchase. The photo from GC was a little juiced as I expected. But I am still very happy with it. Top photo is my photo (which I think accurately represents it in hand) and the photo below is the GC photo. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/YdLDWl2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/iJsvoP8.jpg[/IMG] This coin was only minted in Berlin and in 1913...there was a business strike and proof issue. Several years ago I picked up a proof and I feel this coin pairs very nicely with it to complete the set. Here is my proof. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/YxdIyOo.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
