"Hello, I have a 10 Pfennig G coin 1950 where there is a large gap at the end of the ear of wheat, as shown in the picture. Does it have value, or is it just a minor error?"
I don't really specialize in German coins but I'd imagine this is probably due to a grease-filled die. Not of any extra value. This coin had a huge mintage as the new Federal Republic of Germany was only just getting going and the four mints then operating would have worked their dies very hard to supply enough coins for the booming postwar economy.
Quote: I have a full type set of these coins. I does seem to be common for parts of the design to be missing. As NumisRob said, probably Grease Filled Dies.
