    Seriously, though, it's well known that Adolph was an avid error coins collector, that's why he carried this "mule" around in his trousers. I actually have his original trousers, so if you decide to buy the coin - we can do DNA comparison image Don't ask me how I got 'em, though.

    What would you pay for this coin if PCGS slabbed it with the Hitler provenance?

    I have in my library a book entitled I WAS HITLER'S DOCTOR (by Kurt Krueger), and another called THE KAISER AS I KNOW HIM, by Arthur Davis, Kaiser Wilhelm II's dentist.

    I mention this only in passing, with no claim to having Hitler's moustache or the Kaiser's wisdom teeth in my bank vault.

    Does PCGS have a DNA lab that I'm unaware of ?

    Oh man, that is too funny. Is the seller really serious? This almost looks like a spoof auction that Russ, aka compucheap, would post.

    Literally, nothing... if it were truly Hitler's, I would be disturbed to have something like that as a centerpiece of my collection. For the same reason, I don't collected Lodz Getto coins even though a lot of other collectors of early 20th century Poland-related coins do collect them.

    But to each his own, I guess.

    I'm sure I couldn't afford it, but it'd be interesting to see what such an item would realize. - Preussen
