<p>[QUOTE="mit26chell, post: 1171366, member: 27402"]Hey - I'm no expert, and kinda new here, but I do recall reading about this matter before, only it was in terms of a larger part of Europe than just Germany. As some above suggested - Ike dollars. But what I read were just U.S. dollars in general (specifically Ike's and Sacagawea (sp?) dollars). I also remember reading that Jefferson nickels were very popular - which could obviously entail both your Bison rolls, as well as any extra earlier silver war nickels you might be wanting to sell, seeing those often go for under spot here at home. For some reason I get the feeling that if the German people enjoy collecting Jefferson nickels, that they'd really like the war nickels (esp if they're not totally corroded from circulation). You should take along a few rolls of statehood quarters, or maybe the national parks quarters would be better. Some of those have become quite scarce here, so I'd imagine in Europe it could only be worse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, do you go metal detecting? If you do, take your detector along with you! I want to so bad, and the first place I'd opt to go would be the areas of the Third Reich where many people say that tons and tons of 1930's 2 & 5 Reich Marks coins were actually buried, I believe due to the swastikas on their backsides. Those are two of my favorite coins to collect, and the 5 Reich Marks are nearly a 1/2 Oz of silver and draw a nice little premium (esp certain dates) here in the states! </p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, have fun. Someone also suggested somewhere, can't remember, to simply go to Facebook and search for coin collecting groups. Join one with a bunch of members, make a post asking for anyone from Germany who knows the active market there to inbox you, and then start asking away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have a nice trip - be safe![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
