Reichspfennigs Available, Maybe

I appreciate your quick response, and have to admit it was the answer I was mostly expecting. After my parents passed away several years ago most of their belongings came to me, and I was very glad to have their photos and memorabilia. My dad had shown us his military scrapbook from WW II when he served as "an aide and driver for a general." It was only after his death that we learned the general was Eisenhower, even though he'd talked a lot about mostly being stationed behind the lines in London and Paris. And he'd described all of the really nice houses they'd stayed in while they were there--I guess so if they quartered Eisenhower and his staff there. But I've discovered all kinds of things that he had stashed away, like these coins, and never showed to any of us "kids"--we're all 60+ now. It has been fascinating to see everything, even though his German items are pretty corroded. One item is a badge/pin for the 1937 Nazi Party Day celebration, badly corroded but still legible. I'll attach a picture. I read a thread on this forum about whether or not it is shameful to collect German/Nazi coins, and some people have very negative memories and would not want anything to do with it. It may be that my dad thought that other people might feel that way and never showed them. One of his younger brothers was with the troops that liberated the death camps and was VERY messed up by it--never talked about it and took him years to get over it. He and my dad were very close, so I suspect he was afraid these items might have been upsetting to my uncle. Anyway, sorry to be so long-winded--these items will be going into an historical display I'm creating about my family's military service from the Revolutionary War forward. They're interesting to have.

Thanks, wonghinghi. My dad also sang in the army chorus, and always talked about being a country boy from Alabama around a lot of really good singers and musicians. I'm a little sketchy on details now, but the chorus was supposed to perform in the radio program in Paris, along with Glen Miller's band. That was the night his plane went down, and my dad often talked about how they all waited for Glen Miller to arrive that night, but he never did, of course.

Your 1937 pin should have some significant value, have it carefully cleaned, by someone who knows what he/she is doing. I killed an unknown number of Vietnamese, yet I still like the coins of Vietnam, and I love the Vietnamese peoples! I also own about 4 or so of the Third Reich's coins. I have no problem with them. But, I do not like the pornographic coins seen for example in the modern Austrian offerings. I do draw a line.
