Question
i have a 1937 2 reichmark minted in Berlin in very good condition with not many scratches but all small and i would like to know the estimated value of this coin  

Answer
Hi Jonah, the Paul von Hindenburg 2 Mark coins were minted 1936-39 with the swastika. A mintmark letter is located behind his collar which may affect its value. If it has an A mintmark (Berlin) collector value may be worth about $3 with heavy wear to around $4 with moderate wear to maybe $5 with light wear. It contains .1607 of an ounce of silver.
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.
