Does anyone here collect German third reich / Nazi coins? Just curious. I have a few I have accumulated over the years... all zinc stuff. And I have only a couple of post-war East Germany coins, which I don't see very often.

I don't collect them per se, but I'll usually buy them out of dealer junk boxes if I see them and have a decent amount. I figure its a historical episode that will always be of interest even to non-numismatists.

Any tips out there on keeping the decent looking zinc coins nice, or safely cleaning the cruddy ones?
I mean, I know... you never clean a coin... but these aren't worth enough to worry about diminishing the numismatic value...

All I've got is the one 1918 1/2 mark-f coin that I mentioned over on Worldcent.
Nothing before or since.

I am a collector of Third Reich coins. Always interested in what is offered.

I have some, mostly zinc. The local shop had a guy asking about them so I took my collection in, for them to offer up. I will let you know what I have after I get them back.
