Germany 5 Reichsmark 1927 to 1933

Look at the beautiful coin in the picture. It comes from Detlev Holscher in Enger, Germany. This coin is worth about $350 US dollars. The reason it is so valuable is that the coin is in uncirculated condition, or nearly uncirculated. The catalog value of this coin is about $450, so Detlev's price goes right along with CoinQuest's definition of catalog value, shown on our Terminology page. Please be sure to read the Important Terminology page.
