[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2618462, member: 76194"]I know there will always be some hyper sensitive snowflakes who believe any historical items with a swastika is evil and should be destroyed, and those who own them should be condemned. To those people I say, get over it. The swastika was a peaceful religious symbol 5000 years before the Austrian Corporal with the Charlie Chaplin mustache coopted it for 12 years for his murder and evil sprees. And guess what, to more than 1/3 of the world's population it is still a religious and/or cultural symbol of peace and good luck. And as a collector I can collect these coins with these symbols, be they ancient or WWII, and not associate myself with the NAZI garbage...but rather as a legitimate collector and fan of history who is trying to preserve and learn about history. And to those who still object to it, I have one simple message: [B]Get over it. I will not apologize and your feelings don't get to dictate what I do in my personal time.[/B][/QUOTE]
