How much is a 1898 deutsches Reich funf mark coin worth?

Answer 1

A 1907 Deutschmark is no longer legal tender. It may have some value as a collectible if it is in extremely fine condition.

An added note from a buyer/seller of coins: Melt value is what matters first for most older common circulated coins.With the upward price of silver, melt value is the benchmark for valuing silver coins. Unless a silver coin is rare or in extremely good condition most of us who buy coins judge them almost entirely by their melt value. The value of the 1907 Funf Mark is mostly in its melt value. In 1907 the German Reich marks were made with 5 grams of silver per mark. So, a 5 (funf) Mark had 25 grams of silver in it. If we figure 28.35 grams in an ounce, then 25 grams are about .8818 oz of silver. Simply multiply .8818 by today's spot price for silver and you have the melt value of the coin. As I write this, the spot is about $18 oz. for silver, so the melt value of the Deutsches Reich 1907 Funf Mark is about $15.87 today.

Expect to buy a coin like this in average to good condition for up to $25, but don't be surprised if you have to take somewhat less than melt value for it. Recently I bought one from a reputable online silver and gold bullion dealer for about a 30% premium over melt.

Answer 3

Please check your coin again and post a new, separatequestion with more information that might help to identify it. A search of various German numismatic resources indicates that production of 5-mark coins ended in 1915 and didn't resume until 1927.

If your coin has a denomination of 5 pfennige , its value ranges from perhaps 65¢ to a couple of dollars depending on condition and mint mark.

Answer 4

In average condition, any modern 1 deutsche mark coin (minted 1950-1996) is essentially only worth face value - about 50 US cents at the time Germany switched to the euro.

If your coin is older than that or a different denomination, please post a new, separate question with its denomination and date.
