Rare 50 Pfennig Bank Deutschers"J" "9"

The 1950G originally has just 30.000 coins struck.

Some more info about German coins and (partially) missing dates on coins (in German, from 2004): http://www.numismatikforum.de/viewt...?f=13&t=5835

Some notable quotes:




"It happens over again, not just with 50 Pfennig coins, that parts or even the whole date isn't minted. I therefore assume, that also Bank Deutscher Länder 50 Pfennig coins contain such errors."




"50 Pfennig Bank Deutsche Länder without a year are known coins and appear very frequent."

About the value:




"As said, these errors appear so often that an average value can be calculated. These coins are, in general, sold for 5€, but also (seldom) up to €10.
In the Deutschmark-era, you could buy these for 5 DM."

This is info from 2004, so just 3 years after the introduction of the Euro. I guess inflation and so have added a bit to the price. Don't expect to become a millionaire now, though... Also, 1949J is the most common 1949 50 Pfennig coin, about 42.000.000 were struck.

If you had a 1949J with Bundesrepublik Deutschland instead of Bank deutscher Länder, you would actually be on your way to become a millionaire now, as only 7 of these coins are known.

UltraRant thank you for elaborating on the commonness of such coins. I didn't know such coins existed but then I never pursued this area. Would they be considered errors, or were they also restruck like the 1950G?

Can no one help me answer MY question..? I just wanna know what my coin would be valued at, not everyone turn this into they"re post. Thanks community.

Maybe I want a different opinion because my coin is rare..i can't even find one online besides mine, the value is at 750$ USD is decent condition, so your answer is invalid to me. Maybe you didn't read right.

Lol ok so in the first pic other numbers are scratched out, when I said mine has "j" and "9" I meant that that is how it was made not people scratched out the darn date, *** Edited by Staff | The bad word filter is in place for a reason. Bypassing the filter and making the intended word obvious anyway is completely unacceptable. *** you think your smart and I appreciate the advice, but you need to do more research I assure you, I was just trying to get an opinion, I've already done plenty of research including the books, have a good day sir.

Beefy, a negative attitude is not going to get you far on this forum. People here are more than willing to help. You asked a question and it was answered. You will get more help by being respectful, if you can't be your more than welcome to go someplace else. Consider this your one and only warning.

Okay, go up to your boss and say that, see if he would consider that to not be a bad thing.

I don't see where anyone has teamed up against you. And I can assure you as a moderator I have no favoritism towards any member. I am sorry if you felt that way. You asked a question and several members answered your question with honest and knowledgeable answers. You weren't satisfied with their answers and your replies were less than civil. It is one thing to disagree, but another to be rude in doing so. And you my friend walked on that that line. A civil and honest debate is welcomed here. This is a family friendly forum with many expert collectors with years of experience willing to help. A degree of respect should be afforded them, in turn they will be respectful to you also.
