<p>[QUOTE=&quot;01mikep, post: 1605960, member: 34999&quot;]Well Mikey, I am on the tail end of my tour here in Germany and fly out this month.&nbsp; Before I was stationed over here I owned not one single silver coin from any place on the globe besides the US.&nbsp; To say the least I have had a great time with European silver will be taking back about 10 pounds of it.&nbsp; Like Gbroke said, start out with silver 1 and 1/2 Marks.&nbsp; You can get non-key dates at or under spot pretty regularly.&nbsp; You can also find silver 2, 3, and 5, Marks for about spot for lower grade stuff but you will come across fakes from time to time but a magnet, scale, and visual give those away pretty easily.&nbsp; Take a look at Austo-hungarian empire silver Florin, Krone, Forint, and Korona coins.&nbsp; They are .835 to .900 depending on the issue and are at spot usually if they are not AU/BU unless it is a key.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a nice little shop in town that used to save all the 1 and 1/2 marks that came through for me.&nbsp; I would go through up to 300 at a time sometimes and take what I wanted for right at spot or under.&nbsp; I started, like you, looking for a way to accumulate a little silver and ended up really enjoying collecting a few different series from Germany, Austria, and Spain. </p><p><br /></p><p>PM me if you have time.&nbsp; If I&#039;m not too far from you we could meet up for lunch or a beer.</p><p><br /></p><p>MikeP[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
