billytk New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 08/28/2009 4:48 pm O.K. so I know they are German, But that's all. What do I have here? They were given to me from my wife's cousin (warjag) but forgot to ask him what they were. I could ask him but then I wouldn't be posting pics of these cool coins. Thanks Warjag!

CecilCurtiss New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 08/29/2009 12:56 pm your collecton does demonstrate how they started using cheaper metals for coins as the better ones were used in the war effert. The United States did the same with the steal pennies. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't know what it is but would like to get rid of it. Try a long soak in distilled water. That's what I do with mine.. most of the time it works pretty well. I think that's about all you can do with these. Once most or all of the white is gone, rinse again in distilled water, let it air dry then put it in a holder.

Sap Moderator Australia 16836 Posts	Posted 09/03/2009 10:18 pm The left and right ones were struck in the Berlin mint (with the "A" mintmark). Unfortunately, the corrosion spot on the middle one is right on top of the mintmark. The 50 rpf is aluminium, the 5 rpf is zinc, and the 1 rpf is bronze. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
