All of My Coins and Coin Expertise

The same customer from my last post gifted me this 5 centavos piece (Mexican currency) from 1915. Again, it’s sort of like a Mexican nickel. It’s even in great shape to boot.

A customer gifted me this beauty today. It’s a German 5 Reichspfennig piece from the year 1924, post hyperinflation in the Republic.

For reference, a Reichspfennig is considered 1/100th (0.01) of a Reichsmark. It’s a German nickel, if you will.

All of the Washington Quarters 1964 and prior that I found while rooting through my coin collection earlier today. I’m not sure why, but I have an affinity for these. They’re cool to look at.

Why 1964 and prior? For those of you new to coin collecting, the Washington quarters minted on those dates were composed of 90% silver. This makes them worth more than face value in the eyes of collectors. For example, the one you guys see from 1957 is worth an average of six dollars.
