<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2601392, member: 69760&quot;]Merry X-Mas everyone! And, someone&#039;s been following my general postings on CT <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1090484_zpsh4xzmh7s.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They don&#039;t make coins like this 1921 German 50 Pfennig anymore! Though, this is unique in and of itself. Reading up on this post-WWI hyperinflation coin, it&#039;s made of porcelain! It makes sense, too, since Germany was so in debt due to their loss and the consequent burden of responsibility for the war that fell on them (revealed partly by the 10,000 Mark Westphalia coin above, which was issued the same year as the height of their hyperinflation in 1923). Some nice qualities on this piece that I&#039;d like to see <i>more</i> of on modern and classic coins that I look for are: 1. <b>High</b> relief 2. extraordinarily nice denticles/beaded rims 3. and the concave fields punctuated by (and punctuating) the high relief devices. This one&#039;s by far my favorite of the lot, and I&#039;ll be reading about and looking more at these types. I love learning / discovering something new and interesting!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks Secret Santa!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1090487_zpsuc1zhoev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1090489_zpsflixumxu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1090491_zpscalh7o5a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
