Hi, new here and my first post, so i hope i don't break the rules by posting a German coin forum website, it deals in everything German, in fact it might help other users also with German coins. I myself am Scottish but living in Munich, got into coins last year and have decided to try and go for the British stuff after going through a lot of German coins, but obviously being in Germany i'm competing with a lot of people, so i decided to be a Brit in Germany collecting Brit coins instead. Just picked up a 1935 Jubilee Crown proof "raised edge lettering" for absolute buttons compared to what i see them selling for on ebay etc, also got an EF halfcrown 1825 for a great price, next one am looking at is a George III crown 1820/19 graded EF, but i'm digressing here. The website will help determine the coin http://www.emuenzen.de/forum/ i do have a few books for German coins, but that isn't in it. Where in Germany are you Chris? And can i make a suggestion, you have some ebooks avaliable to buy and download, is it possible to make avaliable some Krause ebooks for the periods 1701-1800 1801-1900 just curious. If it helps anyone, the standard catalogue for German coins is called the Jaeger book, like Krause which have a KM number German coins have J (Jaeger) number, this is the book most German coins are valued by, i have the book from Kaeisereich 1871 up to present, but they do a book for older years. Let me know how it goes, they do have an English section on the website for those that don't speak German
