<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2600375, member: 39&quot;]Keep in mind that these are notgeld issues; the world&#039;s only ones in gold as far as I know. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The German military administration in Tabora used the gold from the Sekenke mine, and neither the purity (the 15 rp pieces contain silver and copper too, to varying degrees) nor the weight nor the edges were as accurate as you might expect it from a coin minted &quot;only&quot; 100 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have different dies too; the 9,803 mintage refers to the second type with the ornament that reaches the T in the word Ostafrika. (The other type, ornament ends at the A, had a mintage of 6,395.) And yes, TPG probably makes sense for the US market ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
