This specimen was lot 2538 in Künker sale 439 (Osnabrück, March 2026), where it sold for €600 (about US$826 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"REICHSKLEINMÜNZEN, 10 Pfennig 1888 F. RR Prachtexemplar. Stempelglanz. Aus der Sammlung Jürgen und Erika Schmidt, Bovenden. Erworben am 9. Juli 2005 von der Münzhandlung M. Kupersky, Wetzlar. (empire small change, ten pfennig of 1888. Very rare, cabinet example, uncirculated.)"
This coin is an copper-nickel ten pfennig from a type issued 1873-76, 1888-89 from the Berlin (mintmark "A"), Hannover (mintmark "B"), Frankfurt (mintmark "C"), Munich (mintmark "D"), Dresden (mintmark "E"), Stuttgart (mintmark "F", shown here), 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 example realized eight times the catalog value.
Recorded mintage: 1,340,000, a common date.
Specification: 4 g, copper-nickel, 21 mm diameter, plain edge.
Catalog reference: KM 4, J. 4.
