German nazi coins- Where to buy them?

And who picked or coined that term? Martin Waldseemüller, a Southern German/Alsatian cartographer.

As for your decision to boycott GE, Braun, BMW and VW, up to you. Now Braun, would that be the household appliance maker, which for decades has been part of a well-known US based group named Gillette which is now part of Procter&Gamble? Another problem with such boycotts is that sometimes, due to companies being sold, split up, taken over, etc., the company you boycott has nothing or hardly anything to do with the one you want to "punish". Degussa comes to my mind for example.

Ah well, maybe we have taken this topic a little too far away from coins, so I'll try and stop here. But I am sure that in a few weeks there will be a new topic discussing nazi coins, and how attractive or evil they are ...

I refuse to collect coins from Mongolia until their government apologizes for the
war crimes committed under Ghengiz Khan.

 

All this makes me wonder about Atheists. Do they refuse to collect US coins and paper money that says "IN GOD WE TRUST"?

I doubt it.

Mama always said petty is as petty does.

 

Funny you say that- I dont boycott money with "in god we trust" on it, but the 1908 st gauden was my first gold coin I bought due to the lack of in god we trust- makes it look extra clean, plus I dont like god being on money... money is used for hookers, drugs, gambling etc- no place for god.

 

snicker - I actually considered using the Mongols as an example in one of my previous posts! :goofer:

I'm still wondering if Palestinian coinage is off limits too? After all, it was asserted that Israel sets the world policy for what folks can collect in all sovereign nations.

its pointless. he flipped something to make it sound worse then it is(collecting ww2 german coins is supporting nazis). but what he doesn't realize is, anything can be flipped to make it sound ten times worse then it is.

its funny how he totally ignored my question about, why is it ok to collect war nickels?

someone asked if atheist would boycott us coins...

me personally, could care less if the coin says "god" on it. its just a word, and as long as people don't push god on me, i am fine.

i may be in the minority of atheist though. even though i have an answer for each god story, when brought up in conversation, i keep it to myself. if i pushed my facts onto people, i would be no better then the bible thumpers.

 

politics and religion...

 

By the way, I made a small research and saw that Nazi coins with big swastikas cost more than without them/ or with smaller ones, by 1-2 bucks each in wholesale, so Blueindian has a point.



Isnt it beautiful

 

I find it lol funy that people keep trying to moke me. The simple point is that all along i've said each to his/her own, but that Me and lots of other people find them offensive. To take my actions further I told the owner of my FAVORET coin store that I would not be a customer of his if he did not stop selling the coins... suprise supirse no nazi coins in his store today when I went in. Boycotts really can work

dited

So the Differnce between a American Silver War Nickle and a Nazi Nickle is the way in which we carried out the war. I don't have to be mad at the army core of enginers because they had a moral pure goal at hart and while GE profited off of weapons that can ultimitle destory the entire world.



Cheta Cats: The refference to Isreal was an example that a majority of jewish people find them offensive. As a matter of fact Isreale is not offended by "palestiniean" money because the "occupied terretories" use Isreales currencey or the jordanian Dinar. This late response was because your post are not worthy of response. you don't know what your talking about. to further your question. I actually own a palistinien coin from the 60-80 ad-ish that i bought from a coin dealer in televive. As far as ancient stuff goes it is no more "palastiniean" then anything. Hell a lot of it is jewish. (BTW if anyone has a coin from the kingdom of juda, I would love to see one) A multitude of people have controld the land that is now Isreal, The Gaza Strip, and The West Bank, and issued their own coins, but im sure a person with your intelegange new that already :rolling:. edited

boxer- Thank you for being reaonable, and enjoy your coin collecting . edited

Recent acquisition...

Nickel 1939-A 50pf, ab. EF. Too bad there's 1 larger and 1 smaller spots on the reverse.

 

I'm not going to get into the discussion about the morality behind these coins because I think it is a stupid argument and neither side is going to concede their point.

Now, for the OP who said they were interested in these coins. I collect coins from Nazi Germany and I have for about a year now. The nicer examples of my collection can be seen in the photo album in my profile. I haven't read this whole thread so I don't know if he has been mentioned yet, but I highly recommend the dealer Ron Guth. I have made a number of purchases from him and I always find the coins to be accurately described and he is an excellent person to deal with. Here is the link to his website: http://germancoins.com/

 

I am an atheist and I obviously collect coins:smile
I see no difference between nazi coinage and any other coinage that has religous implications

 

You know blue- there is another way to view nazi silver... I mean we did own their face in ww2.... sorta like spoils of war/ victory treasure
Maybe when silver prices are really high ill sell all mine to another collector and donate the money I make from it to some good cause that Hitler really would have just hated. Helping the mentally challenged or perhaps if I could find a charity for Mentally challenged Jewish handicap women- god he would be rollin in his grave.

 

Blueindian, do not forget that the U.S. had concentration camps(we called them internment camps) for the Japanese during WWII. We did this off of the assumption that our Japanese citizens would act as spies or indiginous terrorists. It seems you are ignoring this fact when you say we should collect U.S. WWII coins because we had noble intentions. I see nothing noble about sending our japanese citizens to concentration camps. Sure we didn't send all of our japanese population to camps, and we didn't kill them outright(though I am sure some were tortured), but we did take away their rights and liberties out of fear, and I find that to be equally as evil. So why would you advocate collecting war nickels, and since FDR authorized their internment, do you suggest we boycott using and collecting dimes featuring FDR? And don't use the excuse that we apologized for it, because that was Reagan's administration, not FDR's.

Furthermore, you seem to be trying to force a huge ego down our throats. You repeatedly say "to each his own" but you seem to want "to each what I think". Well, I'm sorry, but I don't care if you were able to threaten a local coin dealer into removing part of his potential sales/income, or if you make more money than me, but I do not, and probably will not agree with your view on these matters.

 

I know nothing...

Hogan!!!

 

GENTELMEN GET BACK ON TOPIC PLEASE​

Ok guy's lets get back to civilization here, we collect what we want to collect, I personaly collect German coins and as a part of that collection I have coins from the Nazi era if I left them out then I woudnt have a collection would I? Also all the coins are not bullion, the vast majority in fact.
I also collect German banknotes should I again leave out the Nazi era notes? or how about my German stamp collection?
We can make arguments against the collecting of many items but if you want to go that rout then take it to the political forum :thumb:

 

Sure, same here. But that is quite different from saying "all I collect in terms of German coins is nazi pieces" or, to take it even further, "I want to buy stacks of them".

And while I do find it odd to say that collecting nazi coins is evil, it is equally strange that, whenever the topic comes up, somebody will reply saying that then certain other coins should not be collected either. The fact remains that the starting point of such a discussion is always nazi coins, so they obviously are "special" for US collectors. However, there is a difference in my opinion between buying collector coins from a country that, at the time of my purchase, has a dictatorial system (in that case I more or less support that regime) and other coin purchases ...

Bull. Come up with something a little more believable next time. A dealer isn't going to stop selling something because one person has a problem with it. He has hundreds of other customers.

As far as the rest of the post: tl;dr. Brevity is a virtue.

 

well, sorry for being lazy and not finding a beter image for your highness. The design of the coin is beautiful neverthless.

PS and i somehow doubt anybody spent more time with this thread than u did
