Steve Album Auction 55, lot 2889

This specimen was lot 2889 in Steve Album Auction 55 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2026), where it sold for $95. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY: Third Reich, AR 2 reichsmark, 1939-A, Paul von Hindenburg 1847-1934, a wonderful lustrous example! PCGS graded MS63." This specimen is a common date of a series struck 1936-39 during the early years of the Nazi regime in Germany. It honored Paul Hindenburg, president of Germany when the Nazis came to power in 1933. The "A" mintmark is for the Berlin mint. For a race of Aryan supermen, the Nazis were remarkably unimaginative coin designers and this type is a blatant rip-off of the Polish ten zlotych of 1934-39.

Recorded mintage: 26,855,000, the highest mintage date.

Specification: 8 g, 0.625 fine silver, 27 mm diameter, this specimen 7.96 g.

Catalog reference: KM-93, J-366.
