Hi, I was hoping if someone could give me some information on a gold plated (supposedly) 2 Reichsmark piece which is for sale. The date is 1937 (which is within my 1933-45 period). The seller has taken the photo in such a way to obscure the mint mark. My question is were these issued by the Reichsbank in this condition (which i think is unlikely) or is it just someone trying to get extra cash for a fairly common piece my making it look better? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pictures are included
Hi, Unless I'm missing something, those coins were never issued with gold plating. I'm sure it's been altered. I don't know why someone would do that, but personally I wouldn't want it in it's present condition.
I agree,it's altered,possibly for use in jewelry and has no numismatic value now. Basically it has been transformed into a novelty coin. ~ Jim
Thanks heaps, and for the very quick reply too. I thought it was a little odd having never seen it in a catalogue
