This specimen was lot 7105 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $576. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Germany|GERMANY]]. Weimar Republic. 5 Mark, 1928-D. Munich Mint. PCGS MS-66. A stunning, prooflike Gem, with flashy field luster, bold strike, and virtually no toning. From the Little Acorn Collection." This type, issued 1927-33, was struck in large numbers in Berlin ("A"), Munich ("D", shown here), Muldenhutten ("E"), Stuttgart ("F"), Karlsruhe ("G") 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 .500 fine.
