echizento Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 There is no "C" mint mark on German coins, so this looks like it could be an error. Nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tane Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 That's no error, it's a normal E mint mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yep, that is an "E" (Muldenhütten mint mark). A little ornate maybe ... In the German Empire they did have a "C" mark (Frankfurt mint) but only until 1879. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sholly Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 It is a fancy "E". I was looking in my Notgeld book and found similar "E's" on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
