Graikos Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I found a badly worn coin in a small lot a few days ago. I tried finding out what it is, but was unsuccesful. Could someone point me in the right direction or tell me what this is? The coin weighs 2,33g and has a diameter of 18 mm. Thank you for your time.

Brett Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Do you know the composition? Silver ? Zinc ? Nickel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graikos Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Unfortunately I cannot be sure, but I would say it is a silver coin. I am looking through my Krause, but I only have the one for 1900 onwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 If it is silver it could be a KM-6......50 Pfennig which weighs 2.7770g originally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin43160 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 looks silver to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graikos Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 If it is silver it could be a KM-6......50 Pfennig which weighs 2.7770g originally What Krause would that be? the 1900 - 200x? Or the 1800 to 1900? Does the diameter fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 What Krause would that be? the 1900 - 200x? Or the 1800 to 1900? Does the diameter fit? That badly treated bird looks like the "small eagle" that was used on the early German Empire (c. 1875-90) coins. What about this piece: 5 Pfennig, Cu-Ni, weight 2.5 g, Ø 18 mm ...

Graikos Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Could be tabbs. I really can't "feel" the exact metal, so CuNi could be possible. The diameter is dead on, which has to be my first check I guess. Unfortunately, as already mentioned, I only have one Krause, so I can't check the 50 Pfennig coin. Many thanks to you all for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Well, the 50 Pf coin has a diameter of 20 mm. Don't think it's that one ... Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graikos Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Danke, Christian! Then I guess it isn't that one, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Cordeiro Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 an 18mm coin looking like that is most likely going to be a 5 Pfennig coin from the German Empire. 1874-1900, Copper-Nickel, KM# 3 or KM# 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graikos Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Well then. Coming from two sources, I guess that is settled. Thank you very much. I guess I need to get me the 1800-1900 Krause as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could someone point me in the right direction or tell me what this is? The coin weighs 2,33g and has a diameter of 18 mm. Thank you for your time. I am new here and have almost the same coin and was looking for ID help also. Mine has the same "coat of arms, is silver but diameter of mine is 20-21(?) mm. Mine reads Deutches Reich 1875 Pfennig but I cant read the denomination. Can anyone help with the denomination of mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Gary, more than likely it is a 50 Pfennig which is 20 mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
