I have two 1930 Graf Zeppelin coins... please comment about mintage, silver content and history as I am trying to learn more about these coins I have recently acquired.

Thanks.

50% silver, .4019 oz. ASW. Mintage and value depends on the mint.
I believe I see "D" on the right one (under the zeppelin) 56,000 were minted,
F $70, VF $110, XF $170, UNC $250 (6 years ago, now probably higher)

A popular coin, because they were the only coins made depicting airships which actually date from the time airships were flying. I paid $120 for an A-mintmarked one off of ebay in 2006.

Thanks.

I believe you listed the details on a 5 reichsmark coin... can you provide for a 3 reichsmark? I read somewhere that the 3 may be more scarce than the 5.

Thanks.

I'm the first to respond again because I happen to be online, but I'm away from my books till tomorrow night. So, either someone else will give you the numbers or you'll have to wait a day.
Sorry about misreading the denomination!
