[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3531768, member: 85693"]What an interesting post! I love movie coins and I was unaware of this one. As for the coin in question, here is my impression of Gregory Peck in [I]The Great Sinner[/I] (even my thumb isn't as good-looking as Peck's): [ATTACH=full]938318[/ATTACH] That is a Prussian silver 5 mark dated 1876, Breslau Mint.
