<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2508339, member: 74834&quot;]At the moment, I&#039;m in the fair and sunny city of Berlin, Germany, where my first coin was struck, a large silver 5 Mark coin of the year 1904. With the mustachioed portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II.</p><p>I&#039;m Dutch, and I grew up in the north of the Netherlands. When I was 9, André, the boy next door was a friend of exactly my age. His grandfather was a tall old man of about eighty, with a large silvery bristling moustache. As a young man, in the 1910s, he had worked in Germany in many different places, and earned well.</p><p>I think it was 1964 when he decided to divide his last silver coins between André and me.</p><p>I received a 5 Mark piece, two 3 Marks, seven 2 Marks and a lot of small fry. Quite a sum for 1910, and the older I become, I&#039;m more and more amazed about this gift to me, the neighbor&#039;s boy. But it was right to the mark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
