NDRob BRD 5 DM Set Coin Album
I purchased this coin in 2024 from c.urch's set. I originally saw it sold on ebay in 2022 by g.marguli/Twelve Caesars Numismatics. This has a light, dappled colorful toning pattern. A number of this date in high grade appear to have been graded at the same time with similar toning patterns. I assume the other MS67 got graded in the same batch as this one but I have not seen it come up for sale.
A gorgeous toned coin purchased from C.Urch's set in 2024. It has nice luster with flashy luster and light polish lines that are typical on G mintmarks. Very similar in luster and overall appearance to my previous MS65 example apart from the toning.
This was originally purchased in ~2019. It had a nice flashy luster and a blue-ish color. It had a haze in parts, particularly in a large area over the 5. I sent it in to PCGS and they returned it as not gradeable due to PVC. It wasn't obvious to me where the PVC was but I attributed it to a haze the covered a portion of the coin. As a result, I conserved the coin and removed the haze. It also removed a little of the colored hue and made it more white. . That being said, the coin is still a fantastic example. This appears to be a date that's easy to find in MS62-64 grades but has been very difficult for me to find in a gem grade.
A coin formerly in Germancoins.com set that came to me indirectly from another collector in 2022. This is a nice gem example that has slightly reduced luster due to a light haze. That is made up for by subtle rainbow hues in some toned areas.
Originally purchased at an auction in 2016 for around $75, and self-submitted. Beautiful coin that has a look that I'd like more of my coins to have. It has sharp numbers on the date, which suggests an earlier and strong strike. There is a suggestiong of contrast between the fields and the devices. I can forgive the rim dings, spots, and scattered marks.
I purchased this coin in 2023 at auction raw and submitted it myself. A nice sharp example of a date that has been fairly difficult to find in a gem grade.
Purchased from an auction in 2020 for around $150 and self-submitted. This coin also has a great overall look and crisp quality to it. It has a little of this bluish tone these coins can pick up. You don't really notice it until you look at it next to a blast white coin. It has the tendency to make the coin look better in an "undescribable" way in the moment.
The Stuttgart mint never disappoints! A crisp coin with frost and slight cameo. It has some light toning to give it a little authenticity. Love it. Purchased from an auction in 2020 for around $160 and self-submitted.
This coin was purchased in 2021 from a dealer as a Prfr coin, despite the fact that it's technically gem. It has good surface preservation but the luster and surfaces aren't quite up to the standard of what a lot of people expect from a Stgl coin.
This was purchased in 2024 from C.Urch's collection to replace my previous MS66 example. This is significantly nicer because of the nearly PL, highly reflective fields and cameo contrast.
Well struck. Crisp edges. Some die polish and light toning to give it some character. Purchased at auction in 2021 for around $50 and self-submitted.
I purchased this one already graded from a German auction in 2022. As far as the catalogs go, this is one of the rarest dates in nice condition. Although, there have been a few nice gem looking 58Fs come up for sale in the past few years.

Purchased in 2024 from C.Urch's collection. A very nice MS64 example with strong and somewhat flashy luster.
I bought this coin at auction raw in 2023 and submitted it myself. This is a fantastic example of this key date. It is significantly nicer than my previous MS63. I thought it had a chance at MS64. I might submit it again in the future hoping it can get a + or 64.
I purchased this from auction in 2021 and the auction description just had the date and grade with no photos. I lucked out a bit with this one and got it for a little under $50. This is coin has great personality from the toning and is in a great state of preservation. However it was struck from fairly worn dies.
Purchased in 2024 from C.Urch's collection. This is a date that's tough to find a 65 in. The coin itself has more frosty and satin luster than is common for G mintmarks.
This coin has got it going on! The pinkish/red toning is very pleasant to look at. The luster is smooth and nearly uninterrupted. The strike is good. Love this coin. Purchased from a dealer in 2020 for around $90 and self-submitted.
Purchased in 2024 from C.Urch's collection. This is a nice example with good luster that shows better in hand than in the photos.
I purchased this raw at auction in 2023 and submitted it myself. This is a nice frosty example that displays in hand much better than in the trueviews. It does not look like a 66 in the pictures, but it does in person.
This was purchased in 2024 from C.Urch's set to replace my more darkly toned example.
It has very consistent frost and coloration without any cameo. This is a type of coin that traditional German dealers and auction houses are reluctant to call Stempelglanz, even if it's in a good state of preservation. The toning on the reverse is, overall, attractive and helps this coin out a lot. I purchased this coin from a dealer in 2020 for about $60.
This is a very high grade example of this date. It's frosty with a little bit of a skin over the surfaces. Purchased at auction for about $200 in 2021 and self-submitted.
Purchased in 2024 from C.Urch's collection. The coin is better than the trueviews indicate. The marks to the left of the '5' are light scuffs.
This is a coin that looks much nicer in person with cool colorful toning. The PCGS photos are a little washed out and yellow. I purchased this raw from auction in 2023 and submitted it myself.
Purchased in 2024 from C.Urch's collection of 5 Marks. This is very similar to my other MS66+ example but with cooler toning.
Purchased this coin raw in 2023 and submitted it myself. A very handsome example.
I purchased this coin via auction in 2023 raw and submitted it myself. It has a nice sharp strike with a nice patina and smooth surfaces. It is free from the die polish lines that you often see on these.
A lustrous coin with crisp details and smooth surfaces. Slight weakness in strike in the bottom portion of the coin. Purchased at auction in 2022 and self-submitted.
Purchased off ebay already graded in 2022. This is probably a low-end MS67, but even a low end 67 is still a high-end 5 Mark.
Purchased in 2024 from c.urch's collection of 5 Marks. Nice coin with cool, albeit deep, toning.
An attractive coin with good luster and a weak obverse strike. My previous MS65 example had similar obv strike characteristics even though they were obtained from different sources. Purchased at auction in 2022 and self-submitted.
An attractively toned coin that looks great in hand as well. It was purchased via auction in 2022 and self-submitted.
I purchased this coin graded off of ebay in late 2021/early 2022. I also owned the other MS67 example at the time. I prefer this one and kept it.
An absolutely crazy coin. Struck with really smooth dies that imparted reflective fields. It is slightly irridescent. You get some slight color when you look at the luster. It's reflected in the trueviews going from the center up to 12 o'clock on the obverse. The slight haze/skin could have possibly been removed on this coin to make the fields pop more but it would be at the expense of some of that character I just described. Great coin. Purchased raw from a dealer in 2021 and self-submitted.
Purchased in 2024 from C.Urch's collection of 5 Marks.
I purchased this coin via auction in 2023 and self-submitted. It is slightly toned to give it a natural look. I notice some of the red fibers from those red velvet trays coins are often kept in visible in the true views.
These G mint mark coins are always well made. A nearly flawless coin with a slight cameo and flashy fields. I bought this on raw from a dealer in 2021 and self-submitted.
Purchased raw in the same group as my 73-J. This is a nice earlier die state with a slight cameo and an excellent strike.
A dealer in Sacramento had this coin come in over the counter and knew I was building this set. They reached out to me and I was really happy to buy it for my set. MS67 coins in this set are always tough to find, and it was nice to get a coin with such interesting toning. Purchased in 2023.

I purchased this from a dealer in 2021 for 10-15 euro that appeared to be breaking up a decent set. I self-submitted and supplanted my previous MS66. It's a really nice example overall that isn't exemplary in any one particular way. There appears to be an indendation across the 5 that the grader missed or deemed to be mint-made.
I purchased this coin ungraded in 2021 and self-submitted it. I personally knocked it down to a MS67 due to the small hit on the right wing, but that's really the only defect of note.
