This specimen was lot 1650 in Stephen Album sale 38 (Santa Rosa, CA, September 2020), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY: Kaiserreich, AE pfennig, 1887-E, nice coloration, a bit of red, Unc." This coin is a copper pfennig from a type issued 1873-89 from the Berlin (mintmark "A"), Hannover (mintmark "B"), Frankfurt (mintmark "C"), Munich (mintmark "D"), Dresden (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 for the formerly independent principalities while the lower denominations (one pfennig thru one mark) were minted to a unified design. This is a somewhat better date.
Recorded mintage: 2,315,000.
Specification: 2 g, copper, 17.5 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM-1.
