<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 468236, member: 5233"]OK, one of the reasons I became a coin collector is because I love history. One of the historical periods I find the most fascinating is the WWII period, especially in Europe. I have wanted to begin collecting and put together a set of German coins from the Third Reich period and the ensuing allied occupation of Germany. I was hoping someone could suggest some reading material about how to grade these coins...and if there is any books about there about collecting German coins from this era. I have the Krause World Coins of the 20th Century book...but that doesn't have a lot of specific information in it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I have been looking for a source to purchase German coins and I have been unable to find a decent source. I would prefer to look at higher end coins...no lower than XF but I would really like BU examples of many of them. The first part of this process is to learn to grade the coins (hence my search for books), but I also need to find a dealer. The only online source I have been able to find is eBay and I'm afraid a lot of it appears to be cleaned junk. So, any help would be really appreciated. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
