What is the value of a silver doller size coin, in very good condition with the following discripiton:
Deutsches Reich with eagle below crown one side in center.
Wilhelm II Deutscher Kaiser Konig V. Preussen around releif of mans head.?

Answer
Hi Clay, There were 1.95 million of these German 5 Mark coins featuring Prussian King Wilhelm II (1888-1918) minted in Berlin (A) that year. It contains .8037 of an ounce of silver and collector value may be worth about $14 with heavy wear to around $20 with moderate wear to maybe $80 with light wear.
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.
