I have been focusing mostly on the 1 Marks from 1891 to 1916 the most in a year and make set. A few of them are pretty pricey, one is just out of reach. I will be satisfied with the set missing the top two price wise though. I don't know if I will be here long enough to finish the 1873-1887 1 Mark set by year and make. I have 17 coins left in the 91-16 set that is about 120 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you get out of the 1/2 and 1 Mark coins and start looking at the 2, 3, and 5 Mark coins it branches out pretty quick.
