<p>[QUOTE="Iceman57, post: 828172, member: 16712"]Hi Slim</p><p>Its interesting to see another member here that is interested in collecting coins from WWI or WWII the occupation years. I like the WWII coins from that era. I don't know much about them, I collect Icelandic coin now for the past 6 years. Iceland was invaded by England on May 10 1940 to keep the Nazi from taking it after they invaded Denmark. Well any way many of the German occupied countries used Zinc for some of the coins and that is a very ill metal to use and most times they begin to oxidize over a short time, Now if you can find some really nice uncirculated Zinc coins that are like new then you would have found a great little find. I must have looked at about a 100 or more coins of zinc that England made for Iceland in 1942 and only may have seen about 2 of them that may fall in this category and they had a few spots on them . I have a bunch of these coins that are in fine to very fine condition if your interested at no charge just send me your mailing address and i will mail them to you.</p><p>Tony[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
