Vittore1971 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 11/08/2017 11:26 pm Hi. Just joined as a member. Was thinking about getting this coin graded but noticed scratches that may be due to abrasive claening. Any opinions on grading? Report this Post to the Staff

I'm a huge collector of Weimar Republic coinage and have dozens of them, including several of the above Hindenburg 5 Reichmarks. This is not a particularly rare/valuable coin (the sample above can be purchased for under $100) so do as you will with it. Personally, I wouldn't do anything further to it, especially polishing. In my eyes, there is nothing uglier than a polished coin as they become dull and lifeless. Also, if you polish, you will prevent the coin from re-toning. As for grading, had this coin not been so abrasively cleaned, this would be an MS coin. In the current condition, it would probably grade AU details. Here is a link to give you a flavor of the book values. Note, these are only book values. https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1320826 Edited by cableguy815 11/09/2017 2:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Unless you are a professional and really really know what you're doing. Put it in a 2x2 flip and call it a day. Just enjoy the coin as it is. Report this Post to the Staff
