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.
The coin you're referring to is the 50 Pfennig piece. The obverse has the number 50 printed in the centre and the words Bundesrepublik Deutschland - Pfennig around the outside. The J immediately underneath the 50 indicates where the coin was minted, in this case Hamburg. The following letters denoted the various German mints: A - Berlin D - Munich F - Stuttgart G - Karlsruhe J - Hamburg
According to the Black Book Price Guide for World Coins 2013, It is worth $29.70 USD (ABP Fine) or the average fine is $49.45 USD.
Unless it's in almost uncirculated condition it has very little value. 1 pfennig was the smallest denomination coin in Germany until 2002 when the euro was adopted. At that time a 1972 1 pf coin was common in circulation and was worth about 1/2 of a US cent. Today it might sell for a quarter or so as a curiosity piece.
