sammler.com, a major German collectibles site, lists the following approximate retail values as of 03/2011:

Slightly worn - US$54.00

Almost no wear - US$135.00

Uncirculated - US$284.00

The "Hamburg" designation is important because Germany's constituent states were still semi-independent up until WW1. The central government only issued small coins up to 1 mark; larger denominations were issued by each separate state.
