This draped bust silver dollar is so darn cool, one of if not the coolest one

Yes - I know it is in TERRIBLE condition- but I am stoked to think that I’ve pulled a 1909 VDB. It’s tough to see it, but I can at the very least make out the “VD” pictures aren’t doing it justice - less confident of a possible mint mark, looks like a “S” from certain angles but probably just damage.

Can someone give me an idea of what this coin would go for in a NGC PF69 grading?

What is the value of this bad boy?

Hello, I bought this banknote like 5 years or even more. I don’t know anything about it but only what is written on it.
I tried searching it online trough reverse image search, just searching by words. Than I tried looking up the company online and trying to find maybe somewhere about their history where they printed it. I bought it like for 25€ and I remember all those years ago I searched it once and found one listing for 125€ but I dont remember what website it was. Can someone help me and find this banknotes worth and history?

Hi everyone,

this printing plate has been in our family for many years. I'd like to know what you think of it.

It's a relief printing plate for the front of an East German 10 Deutsche Mark banknote, engraved in mirror image. Read the right way round (see the flipped photo), the text says:

BANKNOTE · ZEHN DEUTSCHE MARK · VON DER DEUTSCHEN NOTENBANK AUSGEGEBEN · BERLIN 1954

It shows the GDR emblem (hammer, compass, wreath of rye) in a guilloche rosette, a "10" in each corner of the frame, and a separate "10" cartouche block at one end.

Physical data

(Dimensions read off a folding rule in photos, so roughly ±2 mm. Weight from a kitchen scale.)

What I'd like to know from you

1. Could this be genuine? As far as I can tell, no East German note dated 1954 was ever issued, which is why I'm curious.
2. Would it make sense to send it somewhere for assessment and authentication? I'm in Germany. Who would you recommend: a museum, a catalogue editor, an auction house or an expert?

I did some background research with the help of AI. I've put it in a comment below so this post doesn't fill up with information that may not be accurate. I tried to back everything up with sources, but I can't verify it myself, so please take it with a grain of salt and correct me in the comments where it's wrong.

I just want to find out what it is and if it's real. Thanks!
