<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1348152, member: 5233&quot;]The zinc alloy used in the Third Reich coinage was used later in their history once the copper and bronze became more critical to the war effort and once their economy began to decline.&nbsp; The mintages of the zinc coins were (for the most part) far greater than then the mintages of the previous copper/bronze issues for this reason.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The zinc coins were made numbers very quickly using low quality material and as a result are very commonly found today in a corroded state.&nbsp; Once these coins become corroded, there is nothing that can be done to fix them.&nbsp; Fortunately, the vast majority of the zinc coins are common and can be found in nice shape if you search for them.&nbsp; I have a decent sized collection of Third Reich coinage and would be happy to answer any questions about this type of coin you might have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
