Based on 1997 prices, 5 marks would have been worth about $2.85, and it had 11.2 g of .625 fine silver.&nbsp; If silver was about $4.74 in 1997, that&#039;s only about $1.07 in melt value.&nbsp; The package has $5.00 crossed out, but I think he had them for sale for $2.50 or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1115584[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
