<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 6433013, member: 56370&quot;]This just came in the mail this afternoon and I’m very pleased with it.&nbsp; I’ve been intrigued by the Weimar series, as the coins are well designed and seem very popular.&nbsp; After searching online I haven’t found much detailed background information.&nbsp; Perhaps, in addition to posting other Weimar coins, some of you could weigh in on the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; These coins are more expensive than US commemoratives even though they have much larger mintages.&nbsp; Is this driven strictly by popularity or do they have a lower survival rate besides?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; Were they intended to circulate or were they sold at a premium at time of issue?</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; I read on one site that they were demonetized in 1934, so would this have caused them to be redeemed during that tough economic time?</p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; I’m surprised they are only 50% silver, while the Nazi era coins are 90%.&nbsp; Perhaps this has something to do with them being demonetized?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your feedback and I’m looking forward to seeing other coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1254569[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1254570[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
