foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 11/04/2007 6:10 pm It is a German 1942 D Reichspfennig...D is a mintmark that stands for Munich. They were minted in an Aluminum-Bronze alloy. In this condition it has no numismatic value but was still a neat find in a cent roll. In average condition, it would have been worth a dime so the fact that it is discolored doesn't hurt it much. An interesting find:-) Have Fun, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 11/05/2007 09:23 am I just thought it was an amazing find, like owning a piece of history. The roll was a mixed date roll. My bank hardly ever gives out new penny rolls, execpt at the beginning of the year. Report this Post to the Staff

Zaggy Valued Member Australia 432 Posts	Posted 11/14/2007 07:25 am The lighting makes the colour look weird. I thought it was the Cu/Al version (36-39), but after 1940 were minted exclusively in zinc (well, barring the odd proben)... The coin is as others have said, KM#100 5 Reichspfennig (Jaeger 370) but it is in Zinc. The D mintmark is from the Munich Mint, and you have one of about 15,486,000 coins minted there in 1942. If it was to be in Cu/Al, it would be a very interesting find indeed, and be a previously uncatalogued Proben; I would just HAVE to get good photo's of it off you then! :) Report this Post to the Staff
