Hello, could you tell me what type of coin this is and if it's of value? Thank you Barbara

It is a zinc Third Reich Nazi Germany 1 Pfennig which I think is like a penny or cent in our denomination here in US. Looks like it has a D mintmark for Munich I am guessing.
Unless the mintmark makes a big difference in value, I think this is only worth a couple US dollars at best.
Welcome to CCF forums.

My Krause shows that 1941 D's are common (73.7 million struck), so it may not be worth even a buck, depending upon the grade. Welcome to CCF, Barbara!

The white traces you see on the coin are zinc's own personal form of corrosion, and just as corrosion does on any other coin out there, the white stuff kills potential numismatic value. If you watch it over time, you'll notice it spreads and destroys the coin surface.

Sorry for the bad news!
