<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 1324645, member: 8959&quot;]I think forum member gbroke got me infected with his enthusiasm for these coins.... </p><p><br /></p><p>Went to a local coin show over the weekend and there was a dealer who had stacks of these late date german marks. Quite literally, he had them one stacked on top of the other for most of the late date and mint make combinations, 6 or 7 to a pile. Even though i have never paid any attention to the late date marks, I chose 8 which appealed to me, and priced at 6 euros each I could not resist. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think they are all pretty high grade. Some appear completely pristine and devoid of any marks that I can tell, and are quite pretty. Not sure how you would grade them in the US, but I grade them &quot; Nice!&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; (sorry about the really poor pictures, not easy to capture them all at once)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am also attaching a picture of one of my early date marks (1878 J) with the old style imperial eagle. Some of those are truly rare, more so in very high grades.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you are at a coin show and see some of these, you may want to take a closer look. They are old, silver, nice (and not expensive!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
