I actually really like any german coins currency or military medals or soveniers. But I am not for their believes in the past . I also own and ols slave tag from USA. but I dont believe in that either. this history should be embrassed so that we shall not do that again. "But to each their own". that is a good point Abyss. if you make them in demand a few might misunderstand .

Collecting all kinds of Nazi memorabilia is a good thing, if done for the right reasons of course. Having a tangible connection to historical events helps us understand them better.

I Agree with Heather, THis is history- and that is what Coin collecting should be about- We are doing it for knowledge etc; The legends on coinages say a great deal. Well, I have to tell you this tale- Now in 1963 the war had been over many years, In the club which I was president at the time, we had a German fellow join our club- come to find out, he was a doctor- but also He had been in the German airforce and was an ace pilot. He became a good friend of mine- but he collected German medals Romel's tank corp was his favorite. He wanted medals that had been awarded for various services. NOw, he hated the Nazi government and everything it stood for- but as he said, we had no choice at the time. As soon as the war ended, He made his way to our country, went to medical school and became a top-notch surgeon in Modesto California. His daughter now has his collection- but he introduced her to Ancient Collecting- and I had something to do with his interest in Ancients.

Good story and it is even better when the main character does well for himself.

I now have about 30 Nazi coins and my collection is growing.

History is what it is all about!

To my mind, Nazi coins shouldn't look bright and shiny. The tarnish and grime on this one gives it a creepily effective "nasty Nazi" look.

Which may well have been the effect its designers were hoping to achieve.




I'm a sucker for a grey tone! Gorgeous.
