zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 05/05/2009 9:43 pm Thank you. But the 1910 does not make sense. it shows B. That is Venice. That is only between 38-44. How did a 1910 get B mint mark Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/05/2009 9:51 pm In 1910 5 Pfennig German Empire coins were minted in A-Berlin, D-Munich, E-Muldenhutten, F-Stuttgart, G-Karlsruhe, and J-Hamburg. Are you sure it's not a D? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 05/06/2009 04:00 am The 1875 might be a "B"; that was the mark of the Hannover mint, shut down in 1878. But the 1910 can't be a "B". The mintmarks on 5pf coins are pretty small; get a magnifier and check again. D or E are the most likely options for you. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1064 Posts	Posted 05/06/2009 04:51 am Oh and B was for Vienna in WW2. Berlin A Hannover B 1878 Frankfurt C 1879 Munchen D Dresden E 187 Muldenhutten F 1953 Karlsruhe G Darmstadt H 1882 Hanburg J They all operated in 1872 and this is why they have these letters. Some closed down and I have put the dates there. Report this Post to the Staff
zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 05/07/2009 12:54 am Sorry guys for causing such confusion. It is a A mint mark. I had been working with both coins simultaneously. And got them confused. The 1875 is a B, the 1910 is an A. I do appreciate the help. I have learned my German mints and dates now. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
