<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan8, post: 26201536, member: 74343&quot;]You have to remember that it is illegal to display a swastika in public in Germany, which is probably why coin dealers in Germany would be reluctant to display them...</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay is probably the best place still to buy them, but in my opinion there were too many made and you really only ever see the common ones for sale. I own some other<b> non coinage</b> pieces that are far more valuable and rarer and way more historical than some Hindenburg 5 Marks coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Third Reich era proof coins are rare and worth it if they are graded, as are certain types used for occupied areas and ghettos as well.

Some of those pieces can be very interesting and very rare, including silk currency and ceramic coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, yes Nazis were bad. And history is important, but imagine the same outcry a Swastika gets, with current Renminbi depicting Mao Zedong, or a Ruble depicting a hammer and sickle....</p><p><br /></p><p>Just remember, there will be plenty of people offended by anything, and yet those same people will collect Roman coinage depicting emperors like Nero. Lack of education regarding history is the main problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
