STUNNING! PRE WWI! World War I & Third Reich Rare German Coin! 1899 German Eagle!

This auction is for one coin only. The multiple photos you will see are my attempt to provide different backgrounds so you can get the best view of the front and the back of the coin that I can provide. Light from my camera distorts color.

This is a circulated, genuine, old pre WW1 German coin that was used throughout the World War I & Third Reich era. This is more than a century old. Think of the stories it has. Its certain to have found its way into many a soldiers pocket. A great collectible, investment, and conversation piece.

The 10 pfennig coin was first issued by the German Empire in 1873, holding a value equal to 0.10 gold mark. In 1914, the gold mark became replaced by the Papiermark, and a similar coin of the same denomination began circulating. The Weimar Republic was established in 1918, following the defeat of the Second Reich at the end of World War I, and continued issuing the coin until 1922.

The first 10 pfennig coin issued in unified Germany was introduced in 1873 during the reign of Kaiser William I. This initial issue was composed of cupronickel, weighed 4 grams, and measured 21 millimeters in diameter. The Reichsadler of the Second Reich was featured on the obverse. Displayed on the reverse was the coin's value, accompanied by the state title of the German Empire (DEUTSCHES REICH) and the year. These coins were issued from 1873 to 1876, and then again from 1888 to 1889, produced at mints in Berlin (A), Hannover (B), Frankfurt (C), Munich (D), Dresden (E), Muldenhütten (E), Stuttgart (F), Karlsruhe (G), Darmstadt (H), and Hamburg. At least 272,305,506 examples were minted between 1873 and 1889, with an unrecorded number being struck in proof quality.

You will have to grade and determine the coin’s worth to you.
