◇MintSF◇1935-A, 5 Reichsmark, Germany, Paul von Hindenburg, Circ. Ex. Fine, (EF)/Vorzüglich, (VZ)
This is a handsome looking coin from a very dark period in world history. This 90% silver coin was issued in honor of Paul von Hindenburg, who was a soldier turned politician that led the Third Reich from 1925 until his death in 1934.
The obverse shows the German imperial eagle crest and the reverse shows portrait of Paul von Hindenburg. The mintmark A, representing Berlin is found on the obverse right before "1847-1934" near the rim.
This coin has edge lettering which says "GEMEINNUTZ GEHT VOR EIGENNUTZ" that translates in English as "Common Good Takes Priority over Self-Interest." This phrase is rather ironic considering the aspirations of the Nazi regime.
I am not a coin expert, but I believe this coin would likely be considered circulated extremely fine if using the standards of the Sheldon Coin Grading Scale. Please examine my high-resolution, unaltered photos before deciding to make an offer or purchase this coin.
Shipping is free for all customers in the United States and its territories. International buyers are eligible for a credit equal to the shipping charge of a US residential package going from the closest location which at this time is $3.55. Please message me after the sale for a refund, or if purchasing with other items, you may send a request for an invoice with the credit in advance.
•I try to be accommodating for all buyers.
eBay policy states that items are supposed to be paid within 48 hours, however I can make an exception to this for those with outstanding bids and in special circumstances. Unless you notify me about outstanding bids or contact me for delayed payment arrangements, eBay has changed its policy and allows sellers to cancel all unpaid sales at the sellers discretion after 4 business days. I will only resort to this for customers who do not contact me or fail to respond to inquiries regarding payment.
Please note that eBay will notate the account of those who fail to pay for their bids or accepted offers and they may place restrictions on your account due to this. I truly hate putting anyone's account in jeopardy so please communicate with me if there is a payment issue or you are waiting on other items to close for possible combined shipping. I will do my best to try to work with you.
▪︎ Different items have different shipping prices.
You will be charged the highest shipping price for the heaviest item. All additional items will be charged at the second item price that would have been charged within their shipping category.
For example: If you bought a graded and slabbed coin it would cost you $2.75 shipping, but if you also bought a regular coin that did not qualify for Ebay Standard Envelope and one that did you would pay $1.00 extra for the non qualifying coin and andditional $.50 for the Ebay Standard Envelope coin which would save you $1.50 in shipping. Those charges would be in addition to the $2.75 shipping for the slabbed coin.
The easiest thing to do in this case is to request an invoice and I promise I will reduce the shipping costs within reason.
Sometimes on really large orders of coins that do not qualify for free shipping I will reduce the price further, but this is at my discretion. I do reward my frequent buyers as I am able.
• If using USPS shipping options, I do try to send items out on Saturdays also to help get shipments to my customers faster. Generally, items ship within 24 hours, however there are occasions that this is not possible, but I do my best to make sure this happens.
•International sales are gladly accepted and I have various shipping options available for you.
•I do combine shipments for international buyers so if you are selecting Ebay International Delivery, please message me prior to paying for your items. I will do my best to provide you with a cheaper combined shipping price if one is available. If you accept my shipping, I will send you a combined invoice and send your items generally within 1 business day of payment.
