Lots of coins on the market in today's issue. Here are a few more from the upcoming Künker Berlin auction. The listings are in
German and aren't included here. Below is a quote from their January 19, 2015 email newsletter and images of a few great coins I came across in
the catalog. -Editor
Only ten more days until our Berlin Auction on January 29th, 2015. We are sure you have studied the catalog thoroughly. Today we want to introduce
to you our German section. You will find some spectacular pieces. In particular, those who collect items from Saxony will discover a rarity or two.
Learn more about Saxony with a film we have produced for you, and an article about one of its best-known rulers.
Lot 29: Reichstaler 1713
The eagle on the reverse reminds me of the scrawny eagle on the reverse of the U.S. 1792 Half Disme. -Editor

Lot 498: 1486 Guldiner
Coins dated before 1500 are rare. This design is very busy, but I like the horse and rider on the reverse. -Editor
