It would be extremely beneficial if you would do two things...

1. Start a new thread for a new coin of discussion.
2. Take a photo of the coin, front and back and post them in the thread.

This really minimizes any confusion.

For instance, in this case, the spelling is important:

It's STADTGEMEINDE (borough, or township of) HERSBRUCK
And, you didn't specify if it's a 5, 10, or 50 pfenning.
With a photo, all that would have been obvious.


In general, these are not worth much, but there are always exceptions. Your grandfather may have had significant sentimental value in them.

You didn't do anything wrong. I understood enough to answer the question.

I am just hoping that others can follow along because you are probably not the only one to have this question. And, in that light, a little more information would help a lot.
