I've read that there were two editions of this coin in the same year. I have this one. The other one I've seen only on the internet and in not so good conditions.
That 10 Pf denomination was the first one that the city state of Danzig issued. Since both versions are zinc coins, there are not many pieces in "good or better" condition ... The two together had a mintage of 1 million. 124,000 were made of the first version, and 876,000 of that second version (which you have). The earlier piece is pretty expensive, see here for example: http://www.muenzauktion.com/fenzl/item.php5?id=6 By the way, both of these 1920 coins were minted at the Gewehrfabrik Danzig - a gun factory. Later Danzig coins were made in Berlin and Utrecht. Christian
Thanks a lot for the comprehensive information. I took a look at that website and indeed that coin looks a lot better than the other ones i saw. Any idea how much my coin is worth? Couldn't find it on muezauktion.com.
Hmm, I saw only one current auction which ends in about 12 hours and has zero bids so far. http://www.muenzauktion.info/auction/item.php?id=2007546 The initial and current price is €129 which I think is quite a bit for that piece. The sister site, with fixed prices, has a few http://www.ma-shops.com/shops/search.php5?lang=en&searchstr=danzig+1920 Saw three pieces like yours; one is VF according to the seller and costs €60. The other two, in better conditions, cost about €150 each. So yours could be roughly €100 (grading based on a photo I find tough); however, the Krause catalog (US) lists considerably lower prices than the Jaeger or Schön catalogs (German). May be better to not expect that much ... Christian
