Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 09/04/2009 08:17 am The standard for a German Imperial 5 mark coin is 27.777 grams of .900 fine silver, .8038 ounces. 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
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 09/04/2009 8:00 pm Nic - Be careful of non-silver forgeries of this particular coin. I have seen White Metal and Steel copies that were made in China both cast and struck. The counterfeits are most easily detected by the edge reeds which were applied with either a Ring Die or with a roller die. The ring die creates split top reeds and the roller causes an overlap in the reeds. Those edges are both wrong. Closely check the weight of any suspect coins - the transfer dies made in China are getting BETTER. Report this Post to the Staff
Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 09/07/2009 12:47 am Thanks Sap! info appreciated. am back, was off/on because of a computer bug. Thank you for the info swamperbob, have checked my coin and reeds are ok. I have no doubt this coin is genuine, history of this particular coin, 20yrs back, given as a gift for winning a bet by a german national who is not a coin collector but has undoubtedly the capacity to buy only the best.
