Germain porcelain coins

koynekwest

I usually dwell on the US forum. I do, however occasionally visit here and will be doing so more often as I am becoming more into select foreign issues.

The question I have-does anyone know of a pricing or value guide for german porcelain coins from the 1920s? Thanks!

I know nothing about porcelain coins, but a collection of them (157 lots) sold yesterday at a Dr. Busso Peus Nachf auction in Germany. Maybe you can get some information from that. The prices realized can be found here:

By no means an expert on these things, but are these the notgelds of Germany? I believe that they were made in several different materials. I have about 50 different ones in zinc, brass, aluminum and iron. They come in round, square, hexagonal, holed, reeded edges, scalloped edges, ribbed edges as well as polygonal. I have none of the porcelain however. They were also issued in paper.

Porcelain coins are made under the state of Saxony by Meissen Porcelan factory in the years 1920 and 1921. Is a type of "Notgeld" from that period.
All coins have the manufactor mark, the crossed sword on it, same like othe procelan from the manufactur.
They made coins with value 20, 50 Pfennig and 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 Mark.
The issue 1920 is low in mintage, about 4.000 each the issue 1920 mintage arround 500.000 and 70.000 for the 5, 10, 20 Mark.
Price for the 1920 coins 60 - 90 Euro and the 1921 issue 6 to 35 Euro

Thanks to all who have responded. Another area of interest for me are the modern doubled dies from Brazil and Mexico. Some real monsters in those. Anyone else here into them?

I like these and have bought them over the years- they seem to add to any German collection as do the Westphalian notgeld issues up to 1923.
