Germany 1907-D mark

Künker sale 386, lot 6212

This specimen was lot 6212 in Künker sale 386 (Osnabrück, March 2023), where it sold for €220 (about US$284 including buyer's fees). The catalog description^[1] noted,

"REICHSKLEINMÜNZEN, 1 Mark 1907, D. Erstabschlag. Stempelglanz. (empire of Germany, one mark of 1907, Munich mint. First strike, uncirculated.)"

This coin is a silver one mark from a type issued 1891-1916 from six mints, including 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 marks are not rare but the 1914-16 issues were almost completely hoarded, making them common today in all grades. This one is priced four times the 1914-A from Berlin.

Recorded mintage: 2,387,000, a common date.

Specification: 5.55 g, 0.900 fine silver, 24 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 14, J. 17.
