Don't get all upset and spam me. I'm neither a racist nor am I interested in other Nazi stuff (no PM's offering me war souvenirs please). This post is an expression of my desire to locate and purchase a single coin as described below.
I am looking for a nice example of the 5 reichsmark coin from the Nazi period that depicts the German war bird carrying a swastika on the reverse (Obverse being the former Reichspräsident Paul von Hindenburg).
These things seem pretty hard to find in high grade. I gather many of these were melted for silver after the war. The vast majority of these that I have seen are either circulated or cleaned.
I am looking for a well struck example in PCGS plastic (will consider NGC, but really have a strong preference for the high standards of our hosts). The coin's surfaces should be uniform and not spotty. Toning is acceptable if attractive and preferably uniform).
PM me if you have an example and photos.

Na, just looking for a type coin. I like US coinage and those proof roos too much to launch off into German coins just now. This 5-Mark project is one of those that might go on for a few years until I find just the right coin. I might even get lucky some day and find a top pop coin raw - wouldn't that be a hoot? I bought a 5-Mark piece a month or two ago from a NY dealer, but was disapointed in his estimation of grade
