Do not have any clue about grammar anyhow

too much of flattery...

I purchase them here on coin fairs mostly. You rarely find such high grades on eBay. There is a plattform called MA-shops, where you can find these things as well. I paid 280 Euro for the 1877 Two Mark piece.

You have my sympathy. It was a severs loss for your family. War is a terrible thing. My German grandfather had to serve in North Africa. He got a Malaria infection there, which compromized his cardiac function. At least he survived WWII for almost 17 years, but died aged 50. Far too early, I was a baby at this time My Greek grandfather was a barber in Thessaloniki during the wartime. Amongst his costumers were German soldiers and officers as well. After the German occupation in Greece has ended, communist rebels started a civil war against the Greek government and there British allies. These rebels took my grandfather hostage in order execute him for "collaboration with the enemy"... Lukely my grandpa survived. My uncle was two years old and my grandmother was pregnant, my own father was not born at that time. Every family in Europe has to tell such sort of story I guess. So I think we all know about the past times and we should compare that with nower times. In my view all European citizens (including me) have the duty to be critical and intent. Never let this happen again! I have to admit that I am not too anglophil (that is Sarah´s part) , but I am interested in human nature and cultural achievements in general. I am the only German citizen here in this forum I guess. So I started to show you some movies dealing with my home country, hoping to make Germany more attractive for you guys. The same intention I have with our current book project, trying to make British coinage more attractive to coin collectors in Germany BTW While writing this post I have some 19 years old Scotch Speyside Single Malt Allt-A-Bhainne...

I´ll do my very best ;)
