Germany 20 and 50 Pfennig 1873 to 1892

It is interesting, happyface, that the 20 and 50 pfennig coins from the old German Empire (Deutsches Reich) are worth quite a bit more than their 1, 2, 5, and 10 pfennig counterparts, which were minted in copper-nickel. In general, there were fewer 20 and 50 pfennigs minted, and many of them were minted in silver instead of copper-nickel. The pattern changed slightly over the years, as you can see from these pictures from U. Helmig in Osnabruck Germany, but the values are strong for all pattern variations. The 50 pfennig, of course, has a large 50 in place of the 20.

20 PFENNIG 1873 TO 1877: 0.032 troy ounces silver 20 PFENNIG 1887 TO 1892: copper-nickel 50 PFENNIG 1875 TO 1878: 0.080 troy ounces silver
