Thread: old silver german coins/ some with "swaz"

Is anybody aware of the worth of these types of coins? i woundnt say they are perfect but pretty close. one is a 1937 5 deutfthes reich with eagle and swaz, 1927 3 deutsches reich and appears to have 2 kings on the front and a 1855-A, Alexander Carl Herzog Zu Anhalt coin with a dog or a bear wearing a crown walking on top of a stone block building and the words EIN THALER XIV EINE FEINE MARK, around the outter edge is a type os scroll work with german crosses between them and the words GOTT MIT UNS

That's "Deutsches Reich", ie. German Empire. A pretty common 5 Reichsmark circulation coin.

1927 3 deutsches reich and appears to have 2 kings on the front

Sounds more interesting. That is a commem, issued in 1927 to commemorate 1000 years Nordhausen, a city in Thuringia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordhausen Current price according to the Jaeger catalog: €120 in VF for example.

and a 1855-A, Alexander Carl Herzog Zu Anhalt coin with a dog or a bear wearing a crown walking on top of a stone block building and the words EIN THALER XIV EINE FEINE MARK, around the outter edge is a type os scroll work with german crosses between them and the words GOTT MIT UNS

That is a thaler from the Duchy of Anhalt, and yes, the beast is a bear. Don't really know much more about it ...

Guess you mean these pieces. Images of the swastika coin you can sure find around here since they seem to popular in the US but here are pictures of all three.
