Question
Hi , I noticed a couple of people have already ask you question about 1902 and 1908.Well i have a 1907 coin.Caan you please tell me how much it might be worth. I think it as light wear. Thanks Renee

Answer
Hi Renee, it is either a German kingdom of Bavaria 2 (zwei) or 5 (funf) Mark coin featuring King Otto I (1886-1913) minted in Munich (D). The 2 Mark coin would contain .3215 of an ounce of silver while the 5 Mark contains .8013 of an ounce of silver. Collector value of the 2 Mark may be about $6 with heavy wear to around $20 with moderate wear to maybe $35 with light wear while the 5 Mark may be worth $13, $20, $50 in the same conditions.
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
