swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 12/11/2008 3:07 pm The last coin pictured is very interesting WWI "Kriegsgeld" which means literally War Money. Looks like Iron and the shape is nice. It was issued by the Rhineland and it is number 2-2 in Upton's Emergency Coinage of Germany. Value is listed at 25 cents but the history is worth more.

futurshox New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 12/11/2008 6:08 pm I checked my 5F piece and it is the same as Mr Rick's (although a bit muckier), with no mint mark that I can see. I appreciate the info about it, so thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

A one-of-a-kind! LOL I found this site- http://www.triton.vg/overdate.html -that had a write-up on it. This coin I have is in pretty good shape with '1925' very clear & I can't see the 5/3 at all. I've put the reverse pic in again Edited by MrRick 12/12/2008 12:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
haidee Valued Member Singapore 104 Posts	Posted 12/11/2008 10:10 pm ^ I also don't see some pictures...there's a message instead saying it has been deleted or moved. but the pictures that I do see proves to be quite good collection pieces :) Report this Post to the Staff
MrRick Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 12/11/2008 10:14 pm Oh, sorry. I deleted a few pics out of my album at Photobucket & since I could still see them, I figured everyone else could too. I'll try to put them back up. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/11/2008 10:38 pm MrRick- yes, the standard catalogs do say that only the overdate version exists for business strikes of that year. It may be a mere misprint in the Krause catalog or it may actually be that they are all overdates, but this may only be detected by use of a very powerful magnifier. (After all, most overdates are not as obvious as the 1942/1 US Merc. dime). Quote: Free Canadian pennies to everyone that has helped! Give mine to Swamperbob since I most certainly owe him for all of the great advice and info that he has provided me. Edited by Archraz 12/11/2008 10:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/12/2008 01:56 am That New Zealand shilling is very high grade. Very nice! In fact, in unc it books at $100! So you have a valuable coin there. Congrads! Edited by Archraz 12/12/2008 01:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
