SELECTIONS FROM THE JANUARY 2015 KÜNKER BERLIN AUCTION

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

Lot 29 1713-1740. Reichstaler

The eagle on the reverse reminds me of the scrawny eagle on the reverse of the U.S. 1792 Half Disme. -Editor

To read the complete lot description, see:
Friedrich Wilhelm I., der Soldatenkönig, 1713-1740. Reichstaler (www.kuenker.de/en/auktionen/stueck/66010)

Lot 498: 1486 Guldiner

Lot 498 1446-1496. Guldiner

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

To read the complete lot description, see:
Erzherzog Sigismund, der Münzreiche, 1446-1496. Guldiner 148 (www.kuenker.de/en/auktionen/stueck/68912)

Lot 497: 1895 New Guinea 20 Mark

Lot 497 20 Neu-Guinea Mark 1895

I wasn't sure what I was looking at at first, but the obverse nature scene grew on me. I like it. -Editor
