Today I received the final coin that I needed to complete the 1950 to 1996 5 pfennig KM#107 set. This is the low mintage (1.7m) 1967G.

I have now completed the 10pf and 5pf sets and a large chunk of the 2pf as well.
Many thanks to Ralf (redlock).

Thanks. It sure is.
Just went through the 2pf coins and only need 2 to finish that set too.

Thanks Robster.
I'm just using a point and shoot camera on full auto,
but I was taking some pictures of these pfennig coins
the other week and the facial recognition and flash came
on and it took a fantastic pic. Much more depth than normal.
so I played around with the flash, covering it up with thicker
and thicker layers of paper until they came out just nice and
without too much glare.

They are such great pics Trigger, what sort of camera is it? (Hoping I haven't asked you that before). I'm still living in hope to buy a macro for my Nikon which will hopefully allow me to get some better photos. The tubes I'm using at the moment work ok, but I always still end up taking half a dozen shots using manual focus to get them close to where I want them.

btw: What years are the two 2pf's you need as I'm yet to even start on my world stuff.

The camera is Fujifilm Finepix J40.

It's sitting on top of a cut down milk bottle with some extra
translucent packing material over top, to help cut down the
flash too.

The two 2pf's that I need are 1995G and 1996G.
Ralf accidentally sent me 2 lots of Fs instead of
Fs and Gs. He is getting the correct ones for me
soon.  [Thanks Ralf ]

What sort of grade do you think it would get Mark, I was thinking PR62 or maybe 63..might even go 64 on a good day :winkextra:

PR66 (maybe 65 if the graders are miserable).  I think you'd be hard done by to not get the DC designation.  Proofs less than that are usually pretty ugly and that coin isn't ugly.  There's a couple of light handling marks on the portrait as you noted and a bit of grime but the mirrors and frosting looks beautiful.  Compare that florin with the ugly PVC affected proof crown below that was a PR64.  

That 1964 proof New Zealand Florin graded PR63CA as did the 1964 proof New Zealand Sixpence I got from the same seller. Probably the handling marks that kept the grade down on the florin as Ausjack mentioned.
