This specimen was lot 70824 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, October 2021), where it sold for $156. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Empire. 10 Pfennig, 1908-G. Karlsruhe Mint. Wilhelm II. PCGS PROOF-65 Cameo. While circulation strikes are easy to locate and acquire, there are only a handful of EXTREMELY SCARCE surviving Proof examples. Due to its allusivity and impeccable Gem preservation, specialists will not be shy as they compete for this piece." This coin is a copper-nickel ten pfennig from a type issued 1890-1916 from the Berlin (mintmark "A"), Munich (mintmark "D"), Muldenhutten (mintmark "E"), 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 rather scarce date. The ten pfennig was switched to iron in 1916 to save materials for the war effort.
Recorded mintage: 1,708,000.
Specification: 4 g, copper-nickel, 22 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM-12; J-13.
