I am new to this forum. I am not a coin collector. I just like metal money and hoard anything that I come across. i would appreciate your opinion on these three coins. Thanks!
First, welcome to the neighborhood! If it is your intent just to hoard coins, then you might want to invest in a few books that can give you the history of some of your coins. The first two I would recommend would be "A Guide Book of United States Coins" commonly called the Red Book and for foreign coins, one or two of the Krause books, "Standard Catalog of World Coins".

German coin about .20 to a 1$ on a good day - Mercury dime about 1.50$ - don't know the other one. Just my opinion!! Don't quit your day job
Thanks I am not really interested in doing commerce with my coins. I understand I know next to nothing and would be satisfied in learning the basics.
your 1st coin is Krause catalog KM#92 Germany, Third Reich 1938-D, denomination-10 reichspfennig, metal- aluminum-bronze, mintage-16,990,000 grade/value F-$0.50 VF-$1.00 XF-$2.00
your 2nd coin is Krause catalog KM#894.1 France, 1931, denomination 50 centimes, metal-aluminum-bronze, mintage-62,775,000 grade/value F-$0.15 VF-$0.25 XF-$1.00 MS-60-$3.00
3rd is a U.S. mercury dime. common date silver value. welcome to CT. I recommend you buy a Krause world coin catalog and a redbook for U.S. coins.
he will learn. he can read books. they have books at a library. or bookstore if he chooses to get more involved.
Yes indeed - but CAN don't mean WILL!! Especially all the info on these coins can be found on internet searches - did he go to the search or........?
he asked for my opinion and I gave it. if he chooses to do more research he can... now he has the basic info. and why are you attacking me ???
I'm not, sorry if you took it the wrong way - I just wrote some things to get him reading so we don't have to constantly write things if we choose to. Plus I've been running in and out to take care of the ducks and I might have misread some of your meanings - my bad, sorry again!!
They are all interesting and collectable, tho' nothing qualifies as "scarce." The dime is 90% silver. Just in case you don't know, don't try to clean 'em. Welcome to the forum!
