Question on old German coin

I have a German 10 marc coin, dated 1780.

Does it have a collector's value that would be more than the value of just it's silver content?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks;
Jack

    I don't believe that they made a 10 Mark in Germany until the early 1870's. Post a pic if you can and I will id it.

    The 1780 coin is a Austria Maria Theresa thaler, probably a restrike.

    Thanks for identifying those coins for me. Very much appreciated.

    Two last questions;

    The 1780 coin is also silver?

    Are any of the coins worth more than their silver content?

    Yes, but I don't know enough about the Maria Theresa to say how much silver is in it.

    I doubt any of them are worth more than melt.

    Looks like I missed the 1895 Prussia 5 Mark .8037 oz asw, 90%
