An East German aluminum 1948 10 pfennig may be worth about .20 with heavy wear to around $2 with moderate wear to maybe $15 with light wear. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info. Brad
This date had relatively low mintage. Regardless of mint mark, it might retail for about $4 in Very Fine (i.e. slightly worn) condition.
There is a website called Numista that has coin pictures. Also on eBay and so on ...
It's German, clearly, but you need to provide its denomination. Please post a new question with that info as well as the mint mark (A = Berlin). 1 zinc pfennig $2 to $5 5 zinc pfennig $3 to $6 10 zinc pfennig $5 to $15 1 copper pfennig $4 to $8 2 copper pfennig $5 to $15 50 aluminum pfennig $15 to $35 5 & 10 brass pfennig $25 2 & 5 silver reichsmark $5 to $10 above spot
This coin is no longer in circulation, having been replaced by euro-cent coins in 2002. At the exchange rate in effect at the time, it was worth about a nickel.

It's an ordinary circulation coin that was used up till Germany switched to euros in 2002. At the exchange rate in effect at the time, 10 pfennigs (note spelling) were worth about a nickel.

This was an extremely common circulation coin until 2002 when Germany switched to euros. At that time it was worth about 5¢ in US currency. It has no added value as a collectible except in uncirculated condition, in which case it might sell for all of 35 cents.
Not enough information. Please post a new question with the coin's denomination. It will be either in pfennige ("pennies") or marks. 1 zinc pfennig $2 to $5 5 zinc pfennig $3 to $6 10 zinc pfennig $5 to $15 1 copper pfennig $4 to $8 2 copper pfennig $5 to $15 50 aluminum pfennig $15 to $35 5 & 10 brass pfennig $25 2 & 5 silver reichsmark $5 to $10 above spot
Unless it's uncirculated, this coin (10 pfennige, rather than a pfennig with a 10) is only worth face value, about 5 cents. It was a common circulation coin until the euro was adopted in 2002.
