<p>[QUOTE="Bert Gedin, post: 3133763, member: 92556"]I go along with much of what you say, TimH. You suggest that every coin is guilty until proven innocent, and that may also be what I'm inferring. I think that's a good rule, not just for coins, also for works of art in museums, and for many other areas, too frequent to mention all. You get rogues everywhere, including in politics. You mention ancient peoples who butchered each other, which makes the Nazis look like boy scouts. To me, they are anything but. And one huge difference is - I'm surprised you don't pick up on that - is that the Nazis, with their extermination and brutal sadism, were active, largely in Europe and Russia, in some of our very own life-times - and here I include myself. I'm not saying to turn a blind eye to other people's atrocities, but the very scale of the Nazi horrors is possibly unparalleled. - By having discussed Nazi coins on CT, and we should be aware of this, we have also touched a very raw nerve in human history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
