Germany 1913-J mark
This specimen was lot 44461 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Costa Mesa, CA, August 2021), where it sold for $228. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Mark, 1913-J. Hamburg Mint. ANACS MS-63. A largely untoned Mark with full satiny luster and sharp strike detail." 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. The pre-war silver marks are not rare but the 1914-16 issues were almost completely hoarded, making them common today in all grades.
Recorded mintage: 298,000, a scarce date.
Specification: 5.55 g, 0.900 fine silver, .160 troy oz ASW.
Catalog reference: KM-14.
