whats my german coin worth? I have a 50 reich pfenning coin and want to know what its worth, can anybody help?:headbang: sorry theres no photo, i havent figured out how to upload yet. All i can say is its in a used state but in good condition. Thinking of putting it on ebay. Did i forget the year.The year of the coin is 1928. A big soz to everyone, Its the same as the coin on chrisild link km49.
I don't know the value, but the best way for you to get an idea is to search eBay for the completed auctions. That will at least show you what people have been paying for them and determine whether or not it is worth your time to auction it. Good Luck Also, Welcome to CoinTalk
I like those Nazi coins. I have a couple that I bought with a lot of foreign and U.S. at an auction, and I find those especially interesting. You wonder how they eve survive without getting melted or disfigured after the Third Reich lost power. I'm sorry that I can't help you with the value, just wanted to say what cool and historical coins those are. By the way, just curious, but does your coin have a swastika on the obverse or reverse?
If only you could give us the year and the mint letter of the place it was minted, we could give you the catalog values from Krause.
Chances are, you are much better off knowing the true value before putting it up on ebay as many world coins are worth even less than the listing fees which is 30 cents.
That's why we have to know which coin it is. A "50 reichspfennig" means nothing. If it is an aluminum-bronze KM#41, it is worth quite a lot. If it is a nickel KM#49, it can be worth between 1 and 90 $ depending on the date, mint letter and condition (the 1932 G is even that scarce it is worth the small fortune the KM#41 is worth). The KM#95 in nickel is also worth something between 12.50 and 300 $ depending on the date, mint letter and condition. If it is an aluminium KM#87 or 96, it also depends on those conditions to see if it's worth something. I can find the aluminum pieces in junk boxes here in Belgium, but there are also scarce combinations of date and mint letter.
Well, now we have two threads about the coin. So let's continue over there: http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=29233 Christian
If "50 reich pfenning" means that the denomination is actually 50 Reichspfennig, then there are five options, as bart mentioned. Here are images of these five: J 318 (KM 41): http://www.emuenzen.de/galerie/data/520/medium/J318.jpg J 324 (KM 49): http://www.emuenzen.de/galerie/data/520/medium/J324.jpg J 365 (KM 95): http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/nmc2/73-95.jpg J 368 (KM 87): http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/img4/73-87.jpg J 372 (KM 96): http://www.emuenzen.de/galerie/data/520/medium/J372.jpg The year and mintmark can indeed make a huge difference in terms of value ... and of course the condition/grade of a coin.

my 1928 reich pfenning is the same as your j324[km49] link, only mine is a little more worn but not by much. do you have a price? rough estimate?
All German 50 Reichspfennig from this year in XF condition are worth more or less between 4-8 dollars give or take a buck or two in regards to mint.
