Found in an old coin purse

Paul H. writes: Hi, I have recently come across two old coins. The first is a german coin with the face of Paul von Lindenburg dated 1847-1934. The back has a nazi swatzica and Dutfenes Reich 1938 written on it. The second is a U.S. silver dollar eagle and lady liberty face. It is dated 1891 and has e pluribus unum written on the back. Are these collectors? If so, what is their value? Found in an old coin purse. Thank you for your time and cooperation.

The first coin is the 5 Reich Mark, Paul Von Hindenburg commemorative. The one you have was minted between 1936-1939 since it features the swastika in a wreath below an eagle. There is also a 1935 issue with an eagle with outstretched wings on the reverse. These issues are readily available and average pieces bring between $6-$8 in average circulated condition. They were minted at various German mints. The most scarce probably is the “G” (Karlsruhe) mint issue of 1939.

Your second coin is a Morgan dollar of 1891 and is common in average circulated condition. Check to see if there is a “CC” mint mark underneath the wreath on the reverse. That issue is scarce.
