West Germany 1950D 10 Pfennig

 

Huh? Unless yours is some kind of error piece, that is a very common coin. For the 10 Pf denomination, and a few others, "1950" was a frozen date which was used for 16 years. Mintage with D/Munich mintmark: 447,542,000. How many "survived" is not known, but this is not that rare ...

According to this article there's only 393,209 minted, here's the link http://world-coins-dealer.ecrater.com/p/2620980/west-germany-1950d-10-pfennig-coin

 

The dealer wants almost $40 for that piece? As in, US dollars?? Seems he forgot the decimal point right after the dollar sign. The figure I mentioned is from the Jaeger catalog (2011); here is a more recent one from NGC/Krause: http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/Wo...gory=38780&worldcoinid=109609&FromSearch=true (Hope the direct link works.)

Edit: Now I understand where that mistake may have originated. MünzenRevue, a German coin magazine with catalog listings, says "393,21" regarding the 1950 D mintage, in this month's issue. The decimal comma is used where you would use a decimal point, but more importantly, that is the mintage in millions. So "393,21" translates to about 393 million pieces ...

First, I never used the word " Rare " only the mintage, but here's a site they use the word " Rare " http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Germany-Federal-Republic-10-Pfennig-1950-/102034293 make sure you read the blog, before you post, or you could use the wrong words for the post your reading, no hard feelings here :loud: o-ya, the mintage is in the millions

 

Seems we were/are online, and busy editing our posts, at pretty much the same time.

Your right on the mintage, that's for sure, the seller site is misleading on the mintage, that's for sure ! Thanks for the info encil:

 

Spain 1957 5 Pesetas ( Number 60 )

 

You may already know this but ... the "1957" is the authorization date for that issue, and the "60" (short for 1960) is the issue/production date.

By the way, that Asian piece in #2888 is a 10 yen coin from Japan. Don't know about the date though. The version with the milled edge (and I think yours has one) was made from 1951 until 1958; later issues have a smooth edge.
