Steve Album Auction 53, lot 3006

This specimen was lot 3006 in Steve Album Auction 53 (Santa Rosa, CA, September 2025), where it sold for $216. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY: Kaiserreich, 10 pfennig, 1909-E, a wonderful proof quality example! PCGS graded Proof 64 CAM, ex Joe Sedillot Collection." This coin is a copper-nickel ten pfennig from a type issued 1890-1915 from the Berlin (mintmark "A"), Munich (mintmark "D"), Muldenhutten (mintmark "E", shown here), 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 to the formerly independent principalities while the lower denominations (one pfennig thru one mark) were minted to a unified design. Wartime shortages forced the regime to convert the coin to iron in 1916-22.

Recorded mintage: 806,000, a scarce date.

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

Catalog reference: KM-12, Y-9, J-13.
