The first year I lived near Munich in 1976, I too was surprised Oktoberfest is mostly held in September because it gets much colder & more snow in October. I attended all 3 years I was in high school in Munich 1976-79. Some of the major brewery tents at the largest fest in the world are as big as some small German villages! Lol.
And they even sold silver Oktoberfest medals struck at the Bayern Hauptmunzampt in Munich that I bought at a kiosk at the fest, with the crazy (and gay) King Ludwig II portrait & other nice designs.
I wish I could afford to live in Bavaria at retirement age.

Kaiser –

Too funny!

NGC will have some of their coin dealer members set up at a booth at the Hoffbrauhaus in Munich selling NGC-graded German coins to drunk Germans!! They will offer a free NGC-branded liter beer mug, t-shirt & bumper sticker if you refer a drunk friend at the event!

G-D! for saving our asses!!” Lol.

The dealer will still get the “70s” even though the coins were never touched by the individual sender. NGC will be selling more of their graded coins and cutting out the small dealers. How’s that for objectivity in grading?
