Steve Album sale 54, lot 2606

This specimen was lot 2606 in Steve Album Auction 54 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2026), where it sold for $105. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY: Kaiserreich, 10 pfennig, 1906-A, a superb example, PCGS graded MS65." This coin is a copper-nickel ten pfennig from a type issued 1890-1916 from the Berlin (mintmark "A", shown here), Munich (mintmark "D"), Muldenhutten (mintmark "E"), Stuttgart (mintmark "F"), Karlsruhe (mintmark "G") and Hamburg (mintmark "J") mints. Under the German Empire of 1871-1918, the denominations of two mark and up were permitted for the formerly independent principalities while the lower denominations (one pfennig thru one mark) were minted to a unified design. This is a somewhat scarce date. The ten pfennig was switched to iron in 1916 to save materials for the war effort.

Recorded mintage: 14,470,000, a fairly common date.

Specification: 4 g, copper-nickel, 21 mm diameter, plain edge.

Catalog reference: KM-12, J-13.
