[mjm579]

This is my 2nd fav find of the day....LOVE the fine details on this coin! The edge of the coin is stamped with "MIT UNS GOTT".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a German silver coin. These Deutschmarks are not in circulation anymore so this coin is worth a little over melt value.

Thanks. I really need to invest in one of those large foreign coin books. I paid $19 for the coin, and it has close to that value if silver in it (at .900 silver).

In general, most of the German Empire coins higher than 1 Mark have at least some premium over silver, (most on eBay have sold for 20-30 so you did well in getting it for $19) and there are some ultra-rare coins issued. However, it is a very complex series and I don't really know of a good English language reference to German coins the way the Red Book is for US coins and Spink is used for British coins.

Personally, I would NOT invest in a foreign coin book; I believe one can receive the same information (and more current information--like value trend) by a relatively simple online search--as 'vpnavy', Generic Lad' and I just did above to assist you.

The book lists it at $18 in VF. I have a foreign coin book, don't invest in it unless you are planning to collect foreign or have a lot of inherited foreign.
