<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WaA140, post: 46184, member: 2663&quot;]My father and, coincidentally enough, my mother-in-law are from Lübeck, Germany.&nbsp; My fathers side of the family hails from Lübeck at least as far back at 1783 and possibly even longer.&nbsp; I&#039;ve considered but, have not as yet pursued, collecting coins from Lübeck.&nbsp; I have seen a few coins on eBay but haven&#039;t known anything about them.&nbsp; I realize this is a rather wide open topic but is there anything anybody could share with me about Lübeck coinage?&nbsp; I know that Lübeck was at one time a city state or Hansastadt - a member of the Hanseatic League of cities but I don&#039;t recall what era that was or how long that lasted.&nbsp; Anyway, I realize I probably need to get one of the Krause books that I&#039;ve seen mentioned, although not by name, that I can recall.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; After posting this message I decided maybe I should go see what Krause Publications has.&nbsp; I found this book: &quot;Standard Catalog of German Coins 1601-Present, 2nd Edition&quot;.&nbsp; They have it marked down from $59 to $20 so I just ordered one.&nbsp; It is coming via media mail so now I get to wait 2 to 4 weeks.&nbsp; In the meantime &#039;m still interested in any information anybody might be willing to offer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
