German States Complete Gold and Silver Set, Circulation Strikes (1871-1918)

The "mother" of all German States sets! The 850 coins in this set represent all of the silver and gold coins issued by all of the German states between 1871 and 1918. That's one of every date and mintmark of every denomination from every possible issuing source. You'll be able to acquire 75% of this set fairly easily, then the prices increase steadily until the ultra-rarities show up: (Baden 1880-G 10 Mark, Hamburg 1908-J 20 Mark, Prussia 1878-B 10 Mark and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha 1872-E 20 Mark). We wish all the best to anyone who attempts this set. It will be a daunting, exciting, and rewarding challenge.
