Just recently found a 1940-J German 5-Reichpfennig in a roll of pennies. Anyone know if this is of any value? It has the Nazi symbol below an eagle or other bird on the obverse and a big 5 on the reverse. It is probably in Fine condition, not too much rub.

I have some NAZI coins brought back from WW2, I kept them around thinking that maybe you know who had them, do you know what metal they used to make them? |

My book says they were made out of zinc.
Thanks for the value, copperhead57. My foreign coin book is almost 7 years out-dated and it does not have a value for one of these coins in Fine. |

| My 2009 book still has that coin listed for 25 cents in fine. |

| Even if the book value is not much, it must be pretty uncommon to find something like that in circulation these days. |

They could be a variety of metals, just like coins today. What do you have? |

| The Third Reich are zinc like kirkland said. The 1878 German Empire piece is cupro-nickel. There are seven different mint-marks for the Nazi coins, A B D E F G J. If the 5 pfennig Nazi coin is a 1942E, it is worth $6+ - anything else is 15 to 50 cents in F/VF and $1-2 in XF. |
