Question
i have a german 10 pfennig coin dated 1919 made of zinc,but it has no mint mark, is this a rare coin,thank you,james.

Answer
Hi James, There were 147.8 million of these zinc German 10 pfennig coins minted without a mintmark that year. It may be worth about .10 with heavy wear to around .20 with medium wear to perhaps $1 with light wear.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for more info, pics and values.
