thedollarman Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I purchaced a German five mark coin a while back it is a 1895 A in about vf condition for $50 I know in the end it is my choice but I want to know what you all think about starting a set.I have fallen in love with these coins mainly because I am german, I like the eagle design and I like BIG SILVER :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabnoles Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I actually recently acquired a 1905 Prussia 5 mark and I agree they are awesome coins. I try to go with something different every month though... managed to get silver dollar sized coins for Prussia/Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Morocco, and Peru so it is a small but slowly expanding collection.

Art1.2 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Don't know how I missed this post before. I've seen the coins you're talking about and like them. As far as starting a collection/series of them, if it fits with what you want to work on - do it. You can always change concentrations later if you decided to go with something else.

Trantor_3 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I have several of these large chunks of silver too, I like the size and usually these large coins have a nice coat of arms on them, which I also like a lot. One I particularly like is the Panama Un Balboa (KM# 13), from 1931 - 1947. I have one in AUNC from 1947. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabnoles Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I like those Balboas too... the amount of details on the Spanish conquistador helmet is striking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
