<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1195913, member: 5233"]OK, here my newest addition to my German collection. It is a 1940-A 10pf Reichskreditkassen coin...which is a Military Occupation Coin from WWII. For those of you who don't know about these, they were minted using very low grade materials for circulation in areas under occupation by the German military. They are made of zinc and today, the vast majority of examples seen are very corroded and pitted. They are someone scarce in general, and almost never seen in high grade. That said, being an A mint (Berlin), this is the most common coin in the series. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please let me know what you think. There are two parts to the poll.

So please enter [B]two[/B] votes, one for a grade and one for yes/no PCGS. Also, I would really like to hear opinions about the coin itself. I'm not interested in personal political opinions or the "morality" of collecting these coins. But, I would really like feedback about the coin. Here are some photos. My camera isn't really that great at taking coin photos...so I have done my best. I took many pictures and these are as good as they get. I'm also including the original auction photos which are much clearer.
