Dear fellow collectors,
Recently I was surfing EBay auctions and I found big numbers of Prussia 10 mark 1872-1873 certified by NGC. Literally, dozens of them are on EBay and all in high grades MS 65, 66, 67.
When I checked NCG registry I found that there was thousands of NGC certificates issued for such coins in MS grades. Total number of this coin minted in 1872 and 1873 was app 12 millions. For comparison 10 mark Prussian coin with Wilhelm II was minted from 1890 to 1912 and total number was also around 12 millions. However those are rare and hard to find them on EBay with NGC certificate in high grade. Only a few dozens of NGC certificated were issued.
My question is why Prussia 10 mark Wilhelm I 1872 - 1873 are so abundant on the market?
