DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 4:39 pm The 1952 5M is a nice pickup! The brass coin is the scarcer one--how much did you pay? I think I see mint luster, so EF sounds right! Krause shows $20 in EF, but my catalog from Denmark shows $40, and the book is 11 years old. The 1949 is an iron coin, which no doubt broke the dies quickly. Report this Post to the Staff
hopping_rabbit Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 4:45 pm Thanks DVcollector, I paid 12 dollars Canadian for the 1952 5 markka. Yes there is definitely mint lustre, I think it could even get an AU...very possibly. In regards to the 1949 markka, are die cracks common? I know it is not the best picture but I am 100? sure the line you see running along the "49" part of the date is a die crack. Any value? Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 5:01 pm I think of die cracks as part of the normal life of die, but some collectors like them. I don't think there would be a premium unless it was a dramatic crack and was sought-after. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 5:38 pm Can't go wrong for $.25 You might want to check out the varieties for the '49 1M Report this Post to the Staff
hopping_rabbit Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 09/11/2011 11:51 am Thanks DVCollector, appreciate the information. I really need to network with some Scandinavian dealers...I am accumulating alot of Finnish coins and filling alot of holes. My goal is to get a circulated version of every coin minted since 1900.....miles to go. Report this Post to the Staff
hopping_rabbit Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 12:56 pm Picked up a beautiful 1907 5 pennia coin from ebay a few weeks ago, has been a busy time so not much time to post. Got this one at a great bargain....looks to be about VF-30......6 dollars....pretty sure this is way under book value. Report this Post to the Staff
