I'm going to guess this coin is in AG condition. I know it's a German coin but any idea where I can find info on it?

I canīt be sure without a photo but if itīs German it will be 10 pfennig of the Empire, which unified all the states pfennig coins in 1873.
The coin will be made of cupronickel, with the small version of the imperial eagle. Iīm afraid is a very common coin, and 1876 is not a specially scarce date, so its value will be low. Only H mint (Darmstadt) is a bit more valuable. You can find the mint letter just under the imperial eagle.

I assume it looks more or less like this one?

The mintmark is on the eagle side, at the bottom, two identical letters on either side of the tail. You've got lots of possible options: 1876 was the last year that all nine German mints issued coins. Possible mintmarks are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and J. As Kreuzer said, only the H is particularly scarce.

Mintmark is E so I didn't win the lotto LOL! I traded a 74d Kennedy DDO (pretty rough shape) for this. Guy I work with had found it in circulation a couple years ago. So it cost me .50 actual money $2-$3 in realized value. Is there a place online where I can find values for coins like this (coins outside the US)

Thanks!
