How much would a 1918 German pfennig (in pretty good condition) be woth?

Answer 1

There are 2 of them, one has an A mint mark (Berlin) the other has a D mint mark (Munich). The mint mark should be on the eagle side near the bottom. If it has an A it is very rare or scarce and is worth from $75.00 to about $500.00 in uncirculated grades. The D one is from $5- $25.00 or so. Getting that kind of money outside of Germany will not be easy, for few collect such low denomination coins of other countries. You might find a WW I collector who would be interested.

Answer 2

The 1918 aluminium 1 pfenning is the key-date of the series, and is a lot more valuable in any condition than other dates of the same type. The ones minted at Berlin(A mintmark) and Stuttgart(F mintmark) are rare due to the factories been frequently bombarded or destroyed during the war, so most probably your pfennig was made in Munich(D mintmark). According to the STandard Catalog of World Coins, in Fine to Very Fine grade, that means the kind of conditions you expect to find on most modern circulated coins, it's valued at $10 to $20. A grade higher with sharper details and some luster is around $45, while a mint state 1918-D pfennig is valued at $120. But this date is undervalued in the book because a quick check with my German contact reveals that scarce date German Empire coins are currently being traded at higher levels; and in this case, it's around €20-€30 in average circulated grades.

Answer 3

In Numismatic value, to a collector, allotta bubble gum cards.
In Copper values, priceless.
Numismatics are kinda funny, the worth and value are determined by the market and the markets beliefs at a certain time, in 2018 it will be worth lots more.
