<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 21284, member: 283&quot;]OK, here&#039;s a cropped image of the obverse of your 1949J 50 pfenning coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been in touch with a colleague in Germany who has advised me that according to the German magazine `The MünzenRevue &#039; (which has a price index each month which also covers (some) errors and irregularities)&nbsp; Quote: &quot;Mutilated or hardly legible figures in the year are due to heavily used and dirty dies. Coins dated 1949 with such flaws are not rare. Add 5 to 10 euro to the listed price. That also applies to the later years.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin is a VF.... but with gouges in it! Ordinarily an unmarked VF is only worth about $0.75 (with a date). Without a date, well....the above says it all. Expect between $5 - $10 (I would say closer to $5 with the couple of gouges I can see (not on the cropped image).</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
