echizento 0 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tane 0 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 That's no error, it's a normal E mint mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tabbs 0 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sholly 0 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
