Answer 4

The 1938 1 Reichspfennig coin from Germany (KM# 89) during the Nazi era is made of bronze, weighs 2.0100 g., and measures 17.43 mm in diameter. The obverse depicts an imperial eagle above a swastika within wreath, and the reverse shows the denomination with oak leaves below. An aggregate of about 152 million coins were produced at 7 mints (of which about half were minted in Berlin - mintmark "A").

The value of this coin depends on its mintmark (A, B, D, E, F, G or J) and its condition. The 1938-B is the most expensive coin (only 2,378,000 were produced by the Vienna mint - mintmark "B"), valued (according to the Standard Catalog of World) at $0.50 in Fine condition, $4.00 in Very Fine condition, $6.50 in Extremely Fine condition, $15.00 in Uncirculated condition, and $30.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Other mintmarks are valued at about US$0.15 to $1.00 in circulated condition, about US$6.00 in Uncirculated condition, and about US$10.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated. Proof examples of this coin are valued at about US$140.00.

Answer 5

This was a common circulation coin before Germany switched to the euro in 2002. At that time it had an exchange value of about 1¢ US. So many were available that they're of interest to collectors only if they're in uncirculated condition.

Answer 6

This was a common circulation coin until Germany adopted the euro in 2002. In average condition it's only worth only its face value at that time, one US cent. In almost-uncirculated condition it might retail for about 35¢, while an uncirculated one would sell for about 75¢.
