I have also found a silver coin. on the front is 1847-1934 paul von hindenburg with the image of a male head. the rear says reichs mare with the figure 2 and the image is of the swastika surrounded by a garland with the eagle above. there is writing around the rim but my eyes /german is not good enough to read although there is the date 1938 and visible and small star with a swirl on either side.

also there is 2 x 1940 10 pfennig silver coins

5 pfennig 1924 with ears of corn on the rear

again are this worth keeping..does anyone have an interest?? thanks s

the 1940 10 pfennig is aluminium

the 1924 is weimar coin, and a nice design

the gem is that 2 mark, it IS silver.

i might be interested in that 2 mark, do you have a picture?

With German coins you should check the mint mark as well as the date. It's a small letter on the coin (in a different place for each design) that indicates which mint struck the coin.

For many designs certain date and mint combinations are scarcer than others. The most common mint mark is usually A (for Berlin).

I have looked at the coin and ther is a letter J on the face of the coin just below the beginning of the date 1847-1934..presume this is what you mean.

I have tried to upload pictures of coins but files too large even for single photo

That's it, just behind his neck. J means Hamburg. For 1938 2 Mark they all seem equally common.

For the Weimar coin it's above the wheat sheafs and for the 10pf it should be between the oak leaves below the value.
