    Yes, the German eagle clutching a swastika was the Nazi logo on these 1, 5 and 10 pfennig coins. The 1940-45 coins were made of zinc and that metal is very susceptible to 'rust' resulting from moisture in the air or its environment. In zinc's case it is in the form of white spots or corrosion which will eventually turn the coin into an unidentifiable white lump of 'rust'. A coin with no white at all should be kept in a dry, low humidity environment and would be worth more if it has no wear. Collector value of a coin depends on date, mint mark (if any), number minted and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning. These coins would have a mintmark letter below the denomination which may affect value but most of these were minted in large numbers and their tendency to corrode keeps their collector values low (usually <$1). If you list them by denomination, date and mintmark I'll check to see if you have any 'treasures'. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
    I'd be interested in seeing what other coins you have to offer as well.

    Please add the year to the mintmark letter (ex.: 1940A).

    The Spanish peseta coins carry a fixed date (ex.: 1947) but the coin's actual date is within the small stars by the word UNA that is left of the shield.
    Value depends on a coin's condition and amount of wear.

    For any questions, I can be emailed at: tbirde@psknet.com
