World coins by Decade

I'll start with one of my favorite US coins in my collection. I've wondered if since it is in an old holder if it would get a higher grade if resubmitted. I'll keep wondering for now because I have no intention of doing so.

Poland, Lodz Ghetto, 1943, 10 marks.
2.55 grams

 

Yes, very dark indeed. I have several 10 marks tokens and one 20 marks token. The latter is likely a fake.

 

I have a number of these but this is the only one I have that I'm confident is real.

 

Iran, 1948, Rial, PCGS MS64

 

A scattered assortment of 1940s coins I have photos of.

Japan 1 Sen 1941 Showa 16

Norway 1941 1 Ore Comparison. Even after the 1940s invasion of Norway, the occupation government kept issuing coins in the name of the King-in-exile until well into 1941. The Nazi's apparently hadn't expected much resistance.
