Germany 50 Pfennig 1949 to 2001

This is an interesting series of coins from the Federal Republic of Germany. The girl planting a tree appears on all dates, but the inscription changes between 1949 and 1950, as follows:

1949 and 1950: BANK DEUTSCHER LANDER
1950 to 2001: BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND

Both inscriptions appear on coins dated 1950, and the 1950G coin is important, and we describe it first. There are two 1950G coins. One is very valuable, and the other is not, as follows:

1950G BANK DEUTSCHER LANDER
worn: $100 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $300
well preserved: $500
fully uncirculated: $800

1950G BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND
worn: less than $1 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $2
well preserved: $5
fully uncirculated: $12

Hope you have the valuable one. Condition is very important.

DO NOT CLEAN YOUR COIN. CLEANING RUINS VALUE.
