Did You Ever.....

Start out to do something quite small and have it grow on you? Many of you identify me with the greyside. I also collect WWII coinage from occupation governments and governments-in-exile. I started out to gather the Curacao coins from the Netherlands government-in-exile (1942-1944). I thought the coins were so neat that I now have all of the modern Curacao colonial coinage from 1880 to 1948. No big deal, not very expensive, but kinda neat.

Coins from Nazi Germany. I just wanted one because i thought it'd be nice to have something that represented that important chunk of our history. Well two lower grade specimens turned to a pile of about two dozen which has now turned into a serious collection. I noticed that most Nazi coins on the market are usually only available in EF and below and i thought, why the shortage of UNCs?

Then i stumbled upon Ron Guth's German coins site and i was hooked, i'm now working on a collection of uncirculated 5 Reichpfennigs from the Berlin mint, hopefully as i complete that denomination i can expand the collection to include the 10 reichspfennigs, the 50s, 2s, 1s, and then onto the Reichmarks. The minor coins are more interesting to me though because there's alot less choice examples of them out there, but since alot of them are Zinc it comes as no surprise...
