JimmyJames Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 05/19/2014 09:12 am I have yet to see a worn example of these 50 pfennig coins, so I take other things into consideration when determining grade. Based on the lack of lustre and lack of clean surfaces, this one would top out at a low XF. If someone wanted to say VF, then I wouldn't argue with them. Typically these coins have to be UNC or better to be worth more than junk bin prices these days. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 05/19/2014 9:59 pm Please, never, ever, ever "soak coins in vinegar" again. It ruins them. Permanently. Quote: I like the picture of the peasant She represents the efforts of the Trümmerfrauen, the "rubble-women" who were primarily responsible for cleaning up and rebuilding the ruins of Germany after the war. The artist who designed the coin, Richard Werner, died in 1949, shortly after the coins entered circulation. For years, people speculated about who "the 50 pfennig woman" was. In 1987, the artist's wife Gerda finally acknowledged in a TV documentary that it was she herself who had modelled for the coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
