This specimen was lot 2528 in Goldberg sale 100 (Los Angeles, September 2017), where it sold for $188. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Germany]]. ½ Mark, 1918-D. Brilliant mint luster with a hint of tone. Pop 13, 1 finer in 68+. PCGS graded MS-68." This coin is a silver half mark from a type issued 1905-19 from the Berlin (mintmark "A"), Munich (mintmark "D", shown here), 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. The pre-war silver half marks are not rare but the 1915-19 issues were almost completely hoarded, making them common today in all grades. | This specimen was lot 2528 in Goldberg sale 100 (Los Angeles, September 2017), where it sold for $188.
