Stack's Bowers 2023 NYINC sale, lot 41618

This specimen was lot 41618 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $432. The catalog description^[1] noted, "GERMANY. Weimar Republic. 5 Mark, 1927-G. Karlsruhe Mint. PCGS MS-65." This type, issued 1927-33, was struck in large numbers in Berlin ("A"), Munich ("D"), Muldenhutten ("E"), Stuttgart ("F"), Karlsruhe ("G", shown here) and Hamburg ("J"). It is, however, expensive; perhaps they were melted during World War Two. We have included it in our category of thalers based on its size, even tho it is only 0.500 fine.

Recorded mintage: 759,000, a scarce date.

Specification: 25 g, 0.500 fine silver, .401 troy oz ASW, 37 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: Dav-966; KM-56; J-331.
