Dark Sider New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 02/11/2008 4:33 pm The first is a Franc from France. 1985 KM #925.1 The second coin is from west Germany. The 1,2,5 and 10 Pfennig have the same design on the obverse. They are different sizes. The easiest way to tell the denomination is to look on the back and the number there is the denomination. I would guess it is a 1 Pfennig 1979 KM #105. The third coin is a 5 Filler from Hungary 1970 KM#549. You could easily find any one of these coins in a box of mixed coins at a coin shop for 20 cents each. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 02/12/2008 02:26 am The franc is made of pure nickel. The German coin is most likely a 1 pfennig, and is made of copper-plated steel. There are four mintmarks on German coins of this period; you'll find the mintmark letter on the other side, at the top between the ends of the wreath. Not that it makes any difference to the value. The Hungarian one is made of aluminium, and 1970 appears to be the "key date" in this series, more valuable than the other dates. CV $5 in EF. 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
