Burks Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Just got the coin in my avatar in the mail today, one of my latest ebay purchases; It's bigger than a silver dollar, and georgeous. That's pretty nice. What is it exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banivechi Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 That's pretty nice. What is it exactly? Oh these kids! Didn't see? This is the Stujoe's Gambian 4 Schillings 1966 (The world's famous crocodile coin - as seen in PCI contest). Stujoe put it in a PVC bag and sold it to QC as a unicorne coin...

banivechi Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Serious now, this must be a Westphalian Notgeld of 1000 Mark 1921-23(you can see one of 50 Millionen Mark 1923 in Krause, at the end of Empire/Germany chapter/Inflation Notgeld). Beautiful horse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdrv Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I had a few of these over time, it's a very impressive coin. The guy on the other side is not so gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 I had a few of these over time, it's a very impressive coin. The guy on the other side is not so gorgeous. There are also a couple with a woman on the other side. By the way, those Westphalian pieces were never used in circulation ... Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualified_coinnut Posted October 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 It is a 1923 Westphalia Notgeld token 10,000 Mark, with some balding dude on the obverse that resembles a chicken hawk to me. I have no idea of the value, cost me around $36 U.S. including delivery. Although it has minor surface wear, uit is an ms-60, nicer in person than on the screen. Goes well with my other notgeld and kriegsgeld coins, as well as the early silver state issues. Anyone know what this coin books at in ms-60?

tabbs Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 There are two varieties of that token; one is a little larger (44.5 mm) than the other (44.0 mm) and has a higher relief. The 2002 Jaeger - not actually a notgeld catalog but it lists a few issues - says it is worth €20 in "vorzüglich" and €32 or €37 in "Stempelglanz". MS-60 is closer to the latter ... Now whether that is the current value, I don't know. Who "the dude" is ... look at the name at the top. Here is another picture, from a Federal Republic coin: Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
