Question
Mr. Livshits,
I sentyou a question Sunday morning regarding the value of two 2Pfennings one 1874 and 1875 however I did not give you the mint mark. mint (A) bottom of imperial eagles feet.
Thank you!
Hi,
I should have looked at this question before the other one. =)
These are from the Berlin mint, which generally has the highest mintage. In very fine condition they are worth around $2 each if they have original brown surfaces and no damage.
Thanks again!

Expertise
My specialty is world coins from the 18th to 20th centuries, primarily non-US foreign coins and related areas such as errors and exonumia (tokens, medals, etc.). I can answer questions relating to identification, grading, selling, preservation and evaluation of such items. In addition to catalog value, I can give you the practical market value and trends for specific types of coins. I will also take questions regarding counterfeits (both modern and antique) and on how to identify them. I am NOT knowledgeable in paper money/banknotes, ancient or "shipwreck" coins. Thank you.
