All of My Coins and Coin Expertise

The same customer from my last post gifted me this 5 centavos piece (Mexican currency) from 1915. Again, it’s sort of like a Mexican nickel. It’s even in great shape to boot.

For reference, a Reichspfennig is considered 1/100th (0.01) of a Reichsmark. It’s a German nickel, if you will.

Why 1964 and prior? For those of you new to coin collecting, the Washington quarters minted on those dates were composed of 90% silver. This makes them worth more than face value in the eyes of collectors. For example, the one you guys see from 1957 is worth an average of six dollars.
