Anybody got a picture of a PROOF Nazi zinc coin? (Or other zinc or steel PROOF coin?)

If so, post it here.

There was some discussion on "what if" the US had struck proof steel cents- what they would look like, what they'd be worth, etc.

An interesting thought.

I thought a zinc proof would look similar to what a US steel cent proof would look like (from a metallic, not a design, standpoint).

Ron Guth is the man to ask for stuff like that.

Here is an example from the post-WWII Allied Occupation of Germany (Swastica removed). Quite scarce. Sorry, not the best pic.

Crude by US minting standards, and as Conder101 stated (in the other forum), very susceptible to oxidation & corrosion. - Preussen

Thanks Preussen. I always wondered what they looked like.
