[QUOTE="Seba79, post: 3238654, member: 70480"]And here, adjudicated today, one of the rarest, and most expensive of the series. The 3 Reichsmark 1928 [B][I]"DINKELSBÜHL"[/I][/B] This coin, struck to commemorate 1000th anniversary of the founding of Dinkelsbuhl. Shows on the obverse a farmer with a sickle and a bundle of ears looking to the right above a city wall with two towers and a city coat of arms. Around the towers is the year. The motif is surrounded by the lettering [I][B]"TAUSEND JAHRE DINKELSBÜHL"[/B][/I], and the mintmark. This type, issued in 1928, was struck in Munich (mintmark "[I]D[/I]"). According to the web coinfactswiki, is expensive, because perhaps it was melted during World War Two. I didn't find any information that can confirm this, maybe someone has information if it's correct or not? The coin is rare and high value, yes, but is this really due to this factor? Recorded mintage: 40,000 plus proofs. [ATTACH=full]847223[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]847225[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
