WWI GERMAN MEDALS BOOK PUBLISHED
Steve Pellegrini writes: "Most of us have wished that some
obscure portion of our collection were better documented in
the existing literature. For me the hope has been that some
talented and well organized author would take on the great
task of documenting the hundreds of German medals &
Gedankentalers produced during the First World War and
post war Revolutionary years of 1919-1933.That wish is answered (at least in part) with a new book by
German numismatic author Georg Zetzmann, 'German Silver
Medals of WW.1, 1914-1919'. The book is very well laid out,
easily accessible and useful to those of us who don't read
German. The medals are photo illustrated throughout the
350pp, and very importantly, each medal has a rarity
assessment and is priced with a current market value derived
from 2000-2002 auction prices realized; which in my opinion
is the only pricing method of any veracity or use. I got my
copy through Harald Moeller's Hamburg auction firm
Munzenhandlung Harald Moller GmbH for 35 Euros plus
shipping. Try emailing moeller@muenzen-moeller.de- 2002-07-07
