[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 24675536, member: 5233"]I did. I was the only bidder. I won with the minimum bid of $325.00 plus BP and shipping. Total cost was $371.13. I personally think this is high for this coin but again...it was the perfect fit for my collection. I can't wait to get it in hand and really see it (and photograph it myself). Because of the stunning toning I felt I would pay the premium price. Here is the photo from the GC website. It is a 1913-A Prussia 3 Mark coin. This coin is .900 silver and is slightly smaller than a US silver dollar (they are 33mm in diameter where a US silver dollar is 38.1mm). This was a 1 year only issue. It was a circulating coin minted to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Wilhelm II as German Kaiser and King of Prussia. They minted 1,000,000 business strikes and 6,000 proofs. This example is a wonderfully toned business strike graded MS65 by NGC. I think it will go nicely with my PF63+ Ultra Cameo example. Since it was 1 year only issue and only minted in Berlin (A mint mark), this gives me a complete set of the type with both being really nice examples.
