WWI GERMAN MEDALS BOOK PUBLISHED

  Steve Pellegrini writes: "Most of us have wished that some
  obscure portion of our collection were better documented in
  the existing literature.  For me the hope has been that some
  talented and well organized author would take on the great
  task of documenting the hundreds of German medals &
  Gedankentalers produced during the First World War and
  post war Revolutionary years of 1919-1933.

  That wish is answered (at least in part) with a new book by
  German numismatic author Georg Zetzmann, 'German Silver
  Medals of WW.1, 1914-1919'. The book is very well laid out,
  easily accessible and useful to those of us who don't read
  German.  The medals are photo illustrated throughout the
  350pp, and very importantly, each medal has a rarity
  assessment and is priced with a current market value derived
  from 2000-2002 auction prices realized; which in my opinion
  is the only pricing  method of any veracity or use. I got my
  copy through Harald Moeller's Hamburg auction firm
  Munzenhandlung Harald Moller GmbH for 35 Euros plus
  shipping. Try emailing moeller@muenzen-moeller.de
