Upon the same day that I received the 1865 Indian Head cent, I also found some pre-World War II Germany coins. They would be the equivalent of the American cent or "penny" or whatever you want to call it.
Both coins came together in the same auction for a pretty low price. Although I have seen other German coins during the same time period and you can just tell that sellers are trying to profit off of the fact that the coins were minted during a dark time in the nation's history and that's just sad.
Still though, I thought that the 1935 50 pfennig would have an entirely different design. And I went for it, simply for the historic value and not because of what I thought was on the coin.
But ONE MORE TIME, I made a mistake and thought that I was buying that coin, and I was not so when I received the two coins and the designs were different, it forced me to go back to find what I thought I was going to buy. And it was a different posting. By the time I double checked the coin, it had been sold. It's gone!!
But I am not against getting currencies and coins from other countries or nations, and still I am NOT just interested in buying currency and coins from JUST Germany. I would love to begin a smaller collection of international coins. It just so happens at this point that I have three German coins that were minted. All before the second World War.
It would take close to a week to get the next package. And we are going back to the Indian Head cents.
