This specimen was lot 2854 in Steve Album Auction 55 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2026), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY: Kaiserreich, 10 pfennig, 1914-A, a wonderful example, PCGS graded MS64." This coin is a copper-nickel ten pfennig from a type issued 1891-1915 from six mints, including the Berlin (mintmark "A") mint. 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 ten pfennig was originally copper-nickel but was switched to iron in 1915 to save materials for the war effort.
