Question
bundesrepublik deutschland 1950 5 pfennig j  is the mint how much are they worth

Answer
Hi Eric, There were 285.3 million of these brass clad steel West German 5 pfennig coins featuring an oak sprig minted that year in Hamburg (J). Collector value may be worth about .10 with heavy wear to around .25 with moderate wear to maybe $1.50 with light wear.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
