Hello. In your opinion it is a 1942 DDR variety? I know this is poor pictures (only these photos I have), but I think double die is visible. Could you tell me how much is worth this coin in this grade? Surface is covered by PVC, and on the reverse I can see scratches (cleaning?). It is worth more than a silver junk? Soaking in acetone will help here? Thanks for your opinions.

I won't address the DDR - not my area of expertise.

Acetone is not only useful here, but imperative. Go to the Main Coin Forum, and search for that word (acetone). You'll find plenty of discussion, from which you can easily learn the appropriate method of using acetone for the removal of PVC byproduct contamination. Employ the suggested safety considerations and have at it.

Thanks, if I will buy it, definitely I will be soak this WLHD in acetone. But now, the most important question for me is how much is worth this coin? I know it isn't easy question, but I believe that you can help me. I don't want to overpaid.

In all honesty, with this coin's problems I don't believe I'd offer as much as $25 for it, even though I believe it to be Uncirculated.
Rest in Peace

Buy pure Acetone and follow the safety, (especially about ventilation.) instructions as SsuperDdave suggested.
Fair Market Value 1942 WLH AU 50 $17.00

I don't see the DDR, but if it's subtle, the pictures need to be higher quality.
