Value of Danzig Perfins ( 1897-1920)

(The following paragraph will be repeated in Part III - Perfins of Danzig (1920-1939)]

The value of Danzig perfins has been studied and assigned by Karl Kniep in his bulletin of the ArGe Danzig, No. 922, dated January 4, 1989. The evaluation was based upon a survey of Danzig perfin owners and totaled 592 samples. The assigned values were plotted against the number of perfins reported. The assigned value has been corrected at an annualS rate of 4% for inflation to obtain a 1996 value. An additional assumption was made that if the same perfin existed both before and after the creation of the Free City, that an equal number of perfins existed in both periods.

The preliminary Lochungen designation is followed by the number of holes. The reported date(s) of use are next, and then any remarks.
