Apparently I bought these pfennigs from a variety collector but where can I find out more on these?

    Mechanical doubling, die clash and die crack. Minor errors rather than varieties

    Highly enthusiastic about world coins, contemporary circulating counterfeits and unusual stuff <3

    Dmitry is correct. NOT varieties. And reasonably common. No extra value IMO.
    If you like, you can contact Guy Franquinett in Germany. He is the uncontested and official expert in these. he speak English.

    These things are interesting because they are very late in the decline of the Mark. They had to be made for collectors, they had no value/ no purchasing power in the monetary system of the time.

    Looking at the large mintage figures, these had to be made to simply keep people in employment.
