Since today has been so much fun and entertaining...

What are your thoughts on these two Wilhelm II Drei Marks? Both have A mint marks.

Berlin was the exclusive mint for Prussian coins.

3 mark, 90% silver, .4823 oz. ASW

1909 (mintage 6,344,000) F $6.50, VF $12, XF $18.50, Unc $45
1912 (mintage 4,626,000) F $6.50, VF $12, XF $18.50, Unc $45

I'd multiply the above figures by 1.5 (values that is, not the mintage )

Just a minor side note - in the first years of the German Empire (roughly until 1880), Prussia still had three mints: Berlin (A), Hannover (B), and Frankfurt (C). After that, and until the end of Prussia, it was indeed Berlin only. As for the prices, the MĂĽnzenRevue for example agrees with you. :)

I love the Patina on the 1912 coin but the toning on the reverse seems to be much different than the obverse. It has perhaps been cleaned?

I believe it could be just an issue of the white balance on two different shots. You can see that the background looks "toned" differently as well.

Here you can cee how I got the same side of the same coin look differently!

Both coins look like to be in AU50-AU55 range.TPG's are often very conservative when grade Wilhelm's II coins.
