| Few questions on an 1875 German 1 Mark coin
Hey guys. I'm not into collecting World coins....yet. I know nothing about them. But somebody gave me this 1875, 1 Mark coin when I was a kid. It says "Deutsches Reich" across the top, 1 over MARK inside a wreath and 1875 on the bottom. The other side appears to be an eagle with a large shield in the middle with a crown suspended over it's head. About the exact same size as a quarter. Looks like and sounds like silver. No idea on grade. Probably somewhere around EF. Certainly below uncirculated but details and edges are sharp.
Was wondering how much silver is in it (if it is) and what it might be worth. Oh yeah, what would have been the approximate dollar equivalent to it in 1875? I know I could look it up but I figured somebody here would know right away. Could post a pic I suppose.
