What do these things bring in unc?

Sorry, I don't know. In fact, I didn't know such a high denomination existed. What's the metal content?

Are these the aluminum ones with the horse, about the size of a silver dollar?

There is even a 500 Million Mark denomination. Gilded bronze.

One of these?

I bought one for about $30 including shipping from Poland. I gave it to my brother so he could start saving for his retirement.

Andy:

Would this be one of the Wesphalia issues that has the Horse and has Mr. Stein on the obverse? Mostlikey... I really like these and if I recall correctly, there are two varieties. One that has 50 Million Mark on two lines and another that has three lines. I am trying to remember which is the tougher variety and I think it is the two lined. As for value, it depends on the variety and the quality. $30 for the common one is about right and the tougher variety is probably in the $50-60 range. Notgeld is becoming more popular... even the coins.

This is one of my favorite series.

According to Max Frenzel's Die Notmunzen 1916-1924 there are 4 basic varieties of the 50 million mark:
Aluminum 44 mm at 20 DM
Aluminum 38 mm at 30 DM
Gilt Tombac at 45 DM
Gilt copper at 235 DM

There are also patterns as well worth a lot more.


Prices are in unc and I find these are reasonably representative if you consider them as $ instead of DM.

The denomination in 2 lines vs 3 line variety is with the 5 million mark. The 3 line variety and the non-gilt 2 line tokens are worth quite a bit more than the gilt 2 line variety.

I'm still having trouble finding nice varieties of a few of these myself: 5 Mk Tombac, 10 Mk bronze, 1/4 Million in AL, and 2 Million in AL. Anyone have one of these for sale?

The most fun is the Billion, of course:

nice example of the One Billion Mark... this coin has significant interest and is very cool.

Which variety do you have, gilt bronze with the denomination in two lines or in three?

Never mind I had the wrong denomination. I still need the 1923 5 million mark gilt with the three line inscription, and 5 Mark tombac, in order to have a complete set.

There are also two varieties of the billion mark piece. I have both of them. (different diameters)

I have a long way to go.

Oh you mean this one

How many pieces are in a full set?

As I count them, there are 24 varities and subvarieties in the set. There's also what look like patterns and at least one "shooting medal" as well with the horse design.
