I want to show you here my favourit coins from the German Empire!

2 Mark 1913 A

3 Mark 1913 A

3 Mark 1914 A

Why can I insert only 3 pictures per Thread???

Nice coins and a great collecting topic. Follow the links in the Coin People banner to OmniCoin. Create an account there (its free) and upload your coins to OmniCoin. You can then link the pictures from OmniCoin into your posts. You've run out of the limited storage allowed in CoinPeople itself for uploading pictures. Confusing at first (it was for me), but simple once you get the hang of it.

I'm enjoying your collection. Thanks for sharing.

Next Coin!

5 Mark 1913
Mintmark A = Berlin

1913, again

One of my favourite coins

Yikes, some really nice coins there

Thanks for sharing the pictures

This is a coin from German Empire.

3 Mark 1913
Mintmark A (~Berlin)

I've never seen an eagle like that before, very cool! It is grabbing a snake like the Mexican eagle, but also looks sort of like the eagle on the reverse of the 1918 Illinois commemorative half dollar.

How big are the 5-mark coins? are they the size of a US silver dollar (38 mm or so)?

Yep, 38 mm.

Christian

Aren't these all "imperial" coins? Anyway, some (like that first one) are in really great condition. Congrats.

Christian

@jtryka :

I read in an other thread, that you are collecting Silver Eagles? Here is my little collection... Meanwhile I swapped two Maple Leafes for the two missing Silver Eagles (94,95)

I got all Silver Eagles, but I must scan they tomorrow (now it's 1:06 AM in Germany )

Barber Dime 1912 D


Half Dime or 5 Cents <-1853-> (Arrows at Date)
My oldest coin from America

That's a great looking 2006 ASE. Mine had a decent amount of specks, dings, scratches. Not very well struck at all so it went directly into my pocket. It may even look better now

Awesome coins you have there. The collection of ASE's is certainly impressive. As are the Marks.

The 1913 Zwei Mark is one of my favorites as well. I have one but not in a conidition like yours!

Excellent set Marvin! Those ASEs are wonderful. I have a complete set of the proof versions, and I have a roll of each year uncirculated with the exception of 1986 and 1988.

In Germany you can buy these coins in almost each bank, you can see the condition of the coin and can buy the coin... The American Silver Eagle costs 12,50€, that you will pay by eBay, too.


Thank you! It's my favorite too... it was very expensive.


Thank you jtryka!
I want to collect the Proof ASE, but they are too expensive... here you must pay ~40€ for one coin, and that is too much for me, because I'm collecting Eurocoins, too... and I can't buy so many coins, because I haven't enough pocketmoney ("only" 15€). That's the reason, why I "can't" collect Proof ASE



Gute Nacht!
wünscht Marvin

Beautiful coins!

Beautiful coins. Thank you for sharing them with us.

You are doing just fine with your pocketmoney. Continue to collect quality coins and in time your collection will grow as your pocketmoney grows.

You have done well so far. I've been collecting for over 40 years now and I have more to spend today than when I was a kid. I can't say I'm having more fun though than when I started forty years ago. I'm having just as much fun. Buying a nice coin for $1000 is as satisfying as buying a nice coin for $5. My pleasure and enjoyment comes from the beauty, quality, and history of the coin, not the amount spent.

Today I recived some American Coins from a german friend.
I hope you like these coins... they aren't "megarar" , but I like it.





Benjamin Franklins coming soon!

Those look like very nice coins, and Peace dollars are one of my favorite designs of all time. As for the Franklins coming, are you talking about the new silver dollars or the older half dollars?

Ähmm... new silver dollars??? I don't know what you're talking about. Is this silver dollar a commemorative? Here my Franklins ! :

You most certainly do a lot better than I do Good luck!

Yes, the US Mint released two commemorative silver dollars celebrating the 300th anniversary of Franklin's birth in 1706. Here is a link to the images on the mint's website: http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?...to#2006Franklin

Or the link to the images on this site....

Very nice coins. Your photography skills are quite good too.

Here my new purchases!!!! :





Coming soon!

1/2 Mark coins -> Silver

I thought you were on a limited pocket money budget??? Nice coins for a small budget! Keep up the good work and careful purchases. You are building a nice collection that anyone could be proud of.

Thank you Bill!

My pocket money is now around 30€ ... so I can buy some nice coins from German Empire, but mainly I want to complete my US-Coins...

Marvin

More nice coins.

New coins!
I believe I bought too much San Marino-Sets... mhm.. I should buy more American Coins...

Oh... there was a Monaco Proof Set 2005, too



San Marino
Ferrari Set


San Marino Minikit 2005


San Marino Mint Set 2006


+ some other San Marino Minikits.

You certainly stocked up on San Marino. Those are some nice sets. Good purchases.

Yes and No... mainly I'm collecting US, but I bought them in San Marino (The Monaco Set in Monaco ) You can buy coins there, if you've got a certain number

Nice pictures! I am still waiting on my San Marino 2006 set - well, I hope the quality of the coins is as nice as that of the folder. That Monaco proof set is neat, but also pretty expensive, even at the lower price for previously registered customers ...

Christian

The 1914 1/2 Mark and Monaco proof set are simply amazing. Great job.

That's the reason, why I bought them, Burks.
Here my new purchases, thanks to jtryka :

Nice coins to add to your collection.

Ok. Today I received :

1x Silverproofset 2006
- Silver Quarters 2006 Proof
- 1c 5c 10c 50c 1$
1x Clad-Quarters 2006 Proof
1x Quarters P & D 2006
1x Kennedy Half Dollar 2006 Clad
1x Barber Quarter 1906

Thanks to Jeff (jtryka)

Here two pictures of my purchases:



Now I'm only looking for a clad-dime 2006 and I'm complete with this year.

Glad they arrived! It's funny how you can see a silver proof a mile away compared to the clad proofs.

Today I received something very special. 12 Morgan Dollars. I got two Morgans before, so I've got 14 Morgans now

Now for the fun part about morgans start looking for die variations. Some of the ones you have had quite a few. The 1889 looks like it may be a high 9 date or slanted date.
