Well not really, more like a German Nazi 10 cent coin from the swapmeet for a buck, its in decent shape seeign as how it\'s real and from Germany and almost 75 years old.
Here is a pic of it, says German Reich across the top. backside has a giant 10 with 10 cents in German, F on the bottom for Feuror I think.
I was wondering if any1 here has any historical stuff? I also have newspapers from the 40\'s about WWII and Hitlers reign lol. Pertty awesome stuff. especially the ads " nice shoes for less than a buck, real fancy fur coats for less than 75"

I have a US penny from 1915, and some older ones.. that\'s it haha. I like seeing rare coins, and misprinted/mispressed ones too. Personally, I wouldn\'t buy that coin no matter how rare it is, just don\'t want that insignia anywhere near my place. But I still think it\'s a neat piece of history.
-
well im definatly not white lol or german but it is history and holds its own. I wonder if any nazi solders used it? never know.
besides im a WWII nut
-
I have a 2006 £4 coin.
-
Hmmm... interesting coin indeed. However, scary stuff it is as well.
Here in the south of Netherlands there\'s a growing group of underground Neo Nazi\'s ...so to say. They all shave their heads and wear those Lonsdale bomberjackets with the national flag on it.
I visit CGtalk alot, and there\'s increasingly much \'historical\' 3d art which depict mostly Nazi airplanes and such.
The increase in amont of such phenomenons is sometimes a bit creepy.

My dad has heaps of WW2 shit, mostly bullets, badges and clothing from his father.
-
I want that coin! :(
-
Sure I collect lots of historical stuff, coins, military stuff and so on.
Some of the WW2 stuff I have:
27 mm Walther signal pistol (Leuchtpistole)
k98 german bayonet manufactured in Hannover in 1942.
A Swedish civil defence helmet (civil defence or antiaircraft defence).
NSDAP pin.
A German police "mark" (the german eagle holding the cross, think of the luftwaffe markings) which they had on the caps.
A stamp which the Germans used on Jewish passports in Warsaw.
A letter which I received as a gift from a man I buy books from, he got it from a friend of his who is German and served in the German army, it has a stamp of Hitler on it.
Military books from 1939-40 which talks about the german armour why it is so effective and so on.
(Note: I might collect many german things, but that is what is most common over here, other stuff are harder to come by, so don’t think Im a neo-nazi.)
Other/older stuff I have.
Coins, from 1600-1700, my favourite is a 1/6 öre sm copper coin from 1718, very nice quality. I also have a few gold coins from 1800-1900 from Denmark and Sweden.
A 1700/1800 pistol (stock and firing mechanism from 1800 (converted from flintlock to cap), the barrel is from 1700 sometime) .50 calibre, nice quality but not that fancy, simple decoration etc. Probably Italian or German, could have been used as a duel weapon according to a guy I showed it to.
-
I have a Lincoln Wheat Penny from 1933 and its still in decent shape. I have Wheat Pennies from the 1940s and stuff too.
-
I just got 3 different nazi belts. War trophies from a vet who came into where I work to sell some crap. One has the swastika
surrounded by a wreath and says "blut und ehre" Blood & honor.
I also have a nazi helmet, and other bayonets & stuff. I get coins all the time. I\'ve got a "piece of eight" from 1700\'s, and an ancient
greek coin.

Adan would be so jealous. Where is that Spaniard anyway?

YEAH! *Pulls elbow towards chest*
But yeah. I have a couple friends that collect these kinds of things all the time. Huge bullets, guns, hats, etc. Its all interesting but i havent got the time i guess or the will to spend money on them.
The only thing worth mentioning that i have is an 1891 silver dollar? or quarter or something. I think its a dollar because its huge. Id take a picture of it but its at my mothers place. *shrugs*

One time here at work, this old Jewish couple came in with some
gold to sell. It was almost pure, and was in a kind of elongated
barbell-type shape. there were six of them. It was from when
they fled Germany, they were wealthy, and had a lot of Gold
bullion, but the Nazis were confiscating all the Jews\' valuables.
They sewed these 50 Troy oz gold "barbells" into their pants and
sleeves and successfully got them out. Then they got here, and became
successful and only sold them for a gift for a Barmitzvah. They got about $50k in the end. Cool story, I thought...
