<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 2945294, member: 59737&quot;]My gift actually came through eBay, and after I checked my account to make sure it wasn&#039;t sent on accident, I immediately knew who my SS was.&nbsp; I won&#039;t say who it was, but they know that I recently acquired some old German States coins and am in the process of organizing, cataloging, and properly storing them.&nbsp; This one has a C mint mark, which from 1866-1879 is a Frankfurt mint.&nbsp; (reference: <a href="http://coinauctionshelp.com/WorldCoins/wordpress/2009/07/04/german-mints-and-mint-marks/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinauctionshelp.com/WorldCoins/wordpress/2009/07/04/german-mints-and-mint-marks/" rel="nofollow">http://coinauctionshelp.com/WorldCoins/wordpress/2009/07/04/german-mints-and-mint-marks/</a>).&nbsp; I have a particular fondness for Frankfurt, as I&#039;ve got friends there and have visited the city several times (once for a coin show).&nbsp; This is a great addition to my collection.&nbsp; I&#039;m afraid I&#039;m away from my collection at the moment, and didn&#039;t do my diligence in snapping proper photos, so here&#039;s the photo I took in hand of the obverse and then photos from the seller.&nbsp; It&#039;s a little darker in hand, but it sure is a beautiful RB coin and a great addition to my collection.&nbsp; Thank you SS!</p><p>My shot</p><p>[ATTACH=full]718037[/ATTACH]</p><p>Seller photos</p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/MZwAAOSw63FaJGwU/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/SH8AAOSw1NFaJGwW/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
