This specimen was lot 2596 in Steve Album Auction 54 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2026), where it sold for $110. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY: Kaiserreich, AE pfennig, 1877-A, better date/mintmark, scarce, VF-XF." This coin is a copper one pfennig from a type issued 1873-77, 1885-89 from the Berlin (mintmark "A", shown here), Hannover (mintmark "B"), Frankfurt (mintmark "C"), Munich (mintmark "D"), Dresden (mintmark "E"), Stuttgart (mintmark "F"), Karlsruhe (mintmark "G") and Hamburg (mintmark "J") mints. The Frankfurt mint, which closed in 1879, struck this type 1874-76. 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.
Recorded mintage: 472,380, a very scarce date, verging on rare.
Specification: copper, 2 g, 17.5 mm diameter.
