<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 775828, member: 5233&quot;]Well, I just now had time to photograph the 5 coins I got for Christmas.&nbsp; I have a new camera (Sony Cyber-Shot W230) as well and I&#039;m still learning to use it so these pictures aren&#039;t great (especially some of the reverses).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, here I go.&nbsp; I know these are foreign coins...but since I&#039;m just displaying my Christmas presents and not asking questions I thought this was a better place for them than the foreign forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over the last year, I have started to collect coins from WWII nations especially Germany.&nbsp; Due to my limited budge due to school...it has been a slow process but I got 5 nice new pieces to show off.&nbsp; So, here they are:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1936-D 2 Reichspfennig</b>.&nbsp; This coin was minted in Munich.&nbsp; What is really interesting to me is this coin bares the design from the previous Weimar Republic.&nbsp; Despite the vastly different ideology and symbolism, the Nazis kept this design for a few years after seizing power.&nbsp; However, in 1936 a new design was released and this design stopped.&nbsp; This is a bronze coin and I would grade it MS64 full red.</p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1936-D2Reichspfennig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>1939-D 10 Reichspfennig</b>.&nbsp; This coin was minted in Munich. This is a brass coin and I would grade it MS64.</p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1939-D10Reichspfennig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>1935-D 5 Reichsmark</b>.&nbsp; This coin was minted in Munich. It is .900 silver and I would grade it MS64.&nbsp; I love the toning on this coin.</p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1935-D5Reichsmark.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>1936-A 5 Reichsmark</b>.&nbsp; This coin was minted in Berlin. It is .900 silver and I would grade it MS63.</p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1936-A5Reichsmark.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>1948-A 5 Reichspfennig</b>.&nbsp; This coin was minted in Berlin. This is a post war allied occupation issue coin and it is the most valuable in my WWII Germany collection.&nbsp; The design was changed post war to remove the swastika and these circulated in Germany in the years following the war when the allied countries controlled Germany.&nbsp; This design was minted in 1947 and 1948.&nbsp; This is a zinc coin and it shows spotting that is common to these issues due to the low quality of metal.&nbsp; However, this coin retains much of it&#039;s original luster which makes it a very choice example of the coin.&nbsp; There is a small fingerprint on the reverse.&nbsp; I would grade this coin MS64.</p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1948-A5ReichspfennigAlliedOccupatio.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.&nbsp; :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
