[QUOTE="goldmark, post: 1783246, member: 38168"]It's nothing special , it was given as a small gift and if you like it it's all that matters.:) Hmm, good question. I don't really know how PCGS or NGC would grade this 10000 Mark coin. In my opinion this coin is vorzüglich (Europ. XF) which should be semantically equivalent to American AU. A range of AU50-55 seems realistic. Hi Christian, I believe this to have been a result not by intention but by effect of raging hyperinflation. Back then they tried to adapt the given denomination for this coin from 10000 Mark to 5 million, 50 million and later on to even 1 trillion. Well the mintage numbers for the 1 trillion type are rather low and with the introduction of the Rentenmark and currency reform of November 1923 these coins became practically worthless. With the exchange rate of 1 trillion paper mark (post WWI Mark no longer covered by gold) to 1 Rentenmark, not much was left. You can also find well circulated pieces, so it's not like they have never seen use as medium of exchange.[/QUOTE]
