Has anyone noticed the premium on this coin now they are available? Silver to go is mid thirties and fleabay is over forty both sides of the pond. Crazy surely ?

these will come down as they will print these again

[FFkook]

Insane. Probably because no legal tender? 

[fehk2001]

yea and it is done by private mint, expect more trade dollar 

[FFkook]

Then they can keep them... Nice coin but not worth it.. 

[vanderPoot]

51 euro, for pre-sale right now... 

it's just a bullion right? 

I think I'll pass thank you very much

[Tritoon01]

edit : no more extra coins

[medgasguy]

Beautiful coin, I think I will have to seek one out.

[Coolsmp]

Interesting coin or round... i quite like it. But not liking the price if its 51euros so my answer is "Nein"

[gji25]

seeing that it is the first coin/round that they have ever produced I think it is worth a punt

[SilverSurfer86]

Has anyone picked any of these up yet? 

[Deglin98]

Just received mine in the mail yesterday. I think they look pretty nice.

[FFkook]

How about pricing, did anyone find it at normal rates?

I'm hearing they have no right to use the 5 Mark denomination on this as it's a round and not an authorised coin so a "Brittania Rules The Waves" scenario might exist where they are forced to remove this in the future so the intial round might become more of a collectors item should this happen.

Where did you hear this exactly? 

[SilverSurfer86]

Can anyone own “the right” to the name of an old currency? Did old German coins actually have Mark on them opposed to Deutschmark?

Are the Germans not still using the Deutchemark?  I was under the impression transactions were still carried out today using it, it's a well kept secret right enough.

It’s the Euro now in Germany, as far as I’m aware the mark was no longer legal tender from 2002.

Can't see that personally. The coin says 'MARKS' and not 'DEUTSCHE MARKS', so not sure how Germany is being infringed, especially given 'Mark' has been the currency unit of quite a few countries, although I think only one uses it now.

Were $32.36 on APMEX, now sold out.

I would suggest this is made up to create demand.
