Russia1981 Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 11/01/2009 9:49 pm Yesterday found this coin. I understand it's from Federal Republic of Germany and until 1990 it was West Germany, but may be somebody can help to ID this stamp (or countermark?) legend says: West Germany Identified - moved to World Coin forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 11/01/2009 11:29 pm Bundesrepublik Deutschland means Federal Republic of Germany, not West Germany. After uniting with the German Democratic Republic it kept the name of FRG, well, because that's what it is. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/02/2009 01:21 am glue seems plausible to me too--it explains why the covered area hasn't darkened. Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 11/02/2009 12:05 pm Okay, I see now - in the glue is the clear imprint of "West", reversed and curved, and below I see "Gemsny". Maybe "Germany"? The "s" could be an "a", I suppose. Something was glued to this coin and pulled off, but I can't tell if these letters are incuse or raised. Odd. Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 11/02/2009 4:58 pm Sorry, I see it now, it does say "West Germany" in English, mirror image impressed in glue. Must be a part of a souvenir, maybe something about the Berlin wall Report this Post to the Staff
