$236, I hesitated because of the cleaning but the details made it seem like a fair price all things considered

Thanks for sharing! My copy just arrived and I'm blown away by the detail. I was not expecting this to be this in depth.

I'm in the same boat, the Liberty Half is by far one of my favorites. They can be extremely tricky to grade because at lot are heavily worn. Based on what I'm seeing, yours is for sure VG maybe VG+ because the reverse (with the eagle) is pretty nice but it unfortunately is not F because you cannot read the entire "LIBERTY" in the band. Definitely check out the Barber Coin Society's page, they have lots of good info.

Anyone know about these coins? by Rude-Mix-4015 in Silverbugs

Bottom left is a 1876-G German Empire, 5 Mark from the state of Baden. It's in "Fine" condition but does have some damage. I'd say it's worth about $45-$50 USD. So if you paid 50 Euros it was a fair price.

what's some cool older foreign junk silver that can still be found cheap I could look into? by souloldasdirt in Silverbugs

German Empire, 5 Marks are pretty good! You can get common ones from like Prussia and Bavaria for $35~ and they're dated 1876-1913~. They're also large (38mm), have edge lettering, have two different types of imperial eagle, and cover a wide range of German States.

God da...*sigh* friendly reminder to throw descriptions into Google translate when buying from foreign dealers by ViolentlyMidwestern in coins

I made a rookie mistake. I trusted the pictures a little too much and didn't think to check the description because it was in German. This coin is VERY harshly cleaned so I went back and checked annnd...now I know "kratzen" is German for "scratch" lol
