The mint mark for the 1909 Half Eagle is located on the reverse {eagle} side of the coin just to the left of the arrow points.
You didn't give the mint mark, and that can affect its value considerably. With no mint mark, the retail value range as of 11/2008 is roughly $240 if very worn, $300 with moderate wear, and $350 with almost no wear. With a C mint mark, $250 / $700 / $3000 With a D mint mark, $300 / $1400 / $3000
Assuming you're using the term "mint" to refer to its condition, as of 11/2008 the range of retail values in above-average conditions are: > No mint mark: $320 in VF20, $500 in XF40, $1350 in AU50, and $3400 in MS60. > D mint mark: $1280 / $2500 / $5750 / $16000 > C mint mark: $1690 / $3000 / $5800 / $2500 > O mint mark: $525 / $910 / $1740 / $9700
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
"10 pfennig" is simply its denomination - 10 pennies. Look for a small letter that's separate from the rest of the inscriptions. That's the coin's mint mark and helps to determine its value. Assuming worn condition, rough retail prices are: A or D mint mark - $2. F or J - $4 E - $5 G - $25

Your coin would simply be called a 5-pfennig piece. Germany never used coins called "nickels". That's American and Canadian slang for those countries' 5-cent pieces. There's more information at the Related Question.
That's PFENNIG, just like it's spelled on the coin. The Nazis were forced to mint coins out of zinc to save more critical metals as the war went on, so it's difficult to find coins from late in the war that are still in good shape. You'll also need to look for a mint mark because that significantly affects this coin's value. Mint marks A and D are worth about $2.50 in average condition. E, F, and G are worth about $3.50 A 5 pf. coin with a B mint mark could retail for over $50.00
It depends on its condition and mint mark. "A": $2 if very worn, $15 if only slightly worn. "D": $4.50 - $20.00 "E": $5 - $35 "F": $3.50-$18.00 "G": $12-$55 "J": $5-$25
