<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hotpocket, post: 1809896, member: 44182&quot;]I collect German 5 Mark coins, but prefer the earlier German States - example would be this 1914 5 mark coin (see pics).&nbsp; These are 90% silver and have 0.4 ounces of silver content.&nbsp; They tend to carry a bit of a premium, even for circulated coins, but I enjoy them, especially trying to collect all the various mint marks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, I agree wholeheartedly with gbroke... please don&#039;t clean your coins.&nbsp; Yes, they are yours to do with as you wish.&nbsp; But I bet if you found an original oil painting by DaVinci, you wouldn&#039;t try to clean it up with windex or a scrub brush!&nbsp; Leave them in their original state and they will be happy coins!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]295437[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]295438[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
