<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 3975600, member: 59737&quot;]I disagree with the claim that they&#039;re somehow better looking than other ones, but that&#039;s really just my preference and I can&#039;t fault other people for not liking the color blue over red. I do scratch my head when I see things like people saying &quot;I elevated my collection by buying a nazi coin&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t personally subscribe to such a relativism with evil. Just because there are worse evils out there does not mean something isn&#039;t evil. Sure, the Soldiers fought bravely in battle and that&#039;s something I support, but they did so in support of the nazi regime, and their awards were marks of gratitude by it. Their victories enabled mass slaughter, enslavement, and genocide. These important aspects are often (and intentionally) overlooked.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recognize the value some of the items bring, but I&#039;m also grateful to not feel the need to trade those items for money. I have identified a correlation between Confederate and nazi memorabilia collectors and am a bit skeptical of anyone whose only collection consists of purely swastikas and Confederate symbols.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think there are some very unique and interesting pieces from this time, and I appreciate seeing them, but worry that threads like this will simply devolve into &quot;look at my swastika collection&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And on that note, this is probably the most beautiful gold coin I&#039;ve seen come out modern Germany. Some day, I hope to own one <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
