Note that the term is COMMEMORATIVE, not "commerative"

However your coin is not a commemorative, it's a common circulation coin from that era.

In average condition it retails for $3 to $6, unless it has either an E mint mark ($5-$12) or a G mint mark ($7-$14)

You are asking about a 2 Reichsmark coin (KM#93) from Germany. The coin is 25mm in diameter and weighs 8.00 grams. It is 62.5% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.1607 troy ounces. The obverse (front) bears a large portrait of Paul von Hindenburg, as well as his name and the years 1847-1934 (his birth and death years). The reverse (back) bears an image of an eagle perched on a wreath with a swastika inside, "2" to the left of the wreath and "Reichs-Mark" to the right of the wreath, and "Deutsches Reich 1938" below.

The "melt value" of this coin is (at April 8, 2010, with silver at US$18.12 per troy ounce) US$2.91.

The numismatic value of the coin is, according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, about US$2.50-3.00 in Fine condition, about US$3.00-4.00 in Very Fine condition, about US$5.00-6.50 in Extremely Fine condition, about US$11.00-20.00 in Uncirculated condition and about US$20.00-40.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. An aggregate of about 41 million of these coins were produced in 1938 at seven different mints (the mintmark is, I believe, to the lower left of Hindenburg's portrait): those with the "A" and "B" mintmarks are at the low end of the range (over half of the total mintage was at these two mints), those with "D", "E", "G" and "J" are in the middle of the range, and those with "F" are in the high end of the range.

What is the value of a World War 2 German coin 1939 D Silver 2 MK?

You are asking about a 2 Reichsmark coin from Germany (KM#93). The coin in 25mm in diameter, weighs 8.00grams and is 62.5% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.1607 troy ounces. The front has an image of an eagle with outstetched wings holding a swastika within a wreath, with a large "2" to the left, "Reichs Mark" in small letters to the right, and "Deutsches Reich" (German for "German Empire") and "1939" below. The back has an image of Paul von Hindenburg, with his full name to the right and "1847-1934" to the left. There is also a small "D" behind Hindenburg's collar, signifying that the coin was produced at the Munich mint. 5,357,000 such coins were produced at the Munich mint in 1939 (out of about 45 million in total from all mints in 1939). With silver at $36.85 (as of June 8, 2011), the coin has a "melt" value of US$5.92. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, it is valued at US$3.25 in Very Fine condition, US$5.00 in Extremely Fine condition, US$14.00 in Uncirculated condition, and US$25.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition (although obviously these prices were set at a time when silver was worth less).

Do you mean a quarter DOLLAR? Quarter eagles were not issued in 1968. And could you describe "double 'stamped"" ? (note the term is actually "struck" in coin jargon).

What are the two types of 1921 silver dollars?

The two types are the Morgan Dollar (common, only worth silver scrap) and the Peace Dollar (worth much more than silver scrap, especially if uncirculated) The easiest way to distinguish between the two types is to look on the reverse, the Morgan dollar has an Eagle, wings stretched surrounded by a wreath. The Peace dollar has an eagle sitting on a rock inscribed PEACE with its wings folded.

What is the value of a 1921american silver eagle dollar?

No such thing exists. There are 2 types of dollars issued in 1921, none of which are silver eagles (the silver eagle bullion coin program wouldn't be created till the 1980s) so you need to post a new question (or search for, because the question has been asked multiple times) telling if you have a Morgan dollar or a Peace dollar. Morgan dollars have the eagle on the reverse with wings spread surrounded by a wreath and are common and only worth about $25 for silver content. Peace dollars have an eagle perched on a rock inscribed PEACE and are more rare and are worth differing amounts depending on the wear on the coin.
