I don't support this censorship of historical items.

Neither do I........I happen to have a complete set of Nazi Germany coins from each of the 9 mints and I will want to sell them soon. Why should we stop collecting and selling these historical items.

It should make us remember what happened to the Jews and other nationalities by Hiltler and his thugs.

I think you should just donate them to my Germany collection.

So will they also ban the selling of anything from the USSR what with Lenin, Stalin, the purges, the gulags etc? What about anything Ottoman as they ran the worlds largest slave market and also had the genocides of the Armenians and Greeks? Or anything from Uganda under Idi Amin, or China since 1949? Maybe the SJW snowflakes will also ban the sale of US coins minted since Trump was elected?
Nearly everything is offensive to somebody so frankly Downies should just drink some concrete and not ban anything.

This is basically what I thought - Hitler wasn't the first person to do some nasty stuff, and he certainly won't be the last.

The United States is dropping bombs in other countries from UAVs daily, yet we still use their dollar to underpin the world's economy.
Oy vey!

I have a nice collection of 5 mark silver coins from the Third Reich. I love their eagle. Many of mine I bought from a seller in Israel so I find that amusing. If anyone should have the rights to sell them it should be the jews.

I must admit most of my silver came fro a dealer in Austria......very good grades

I've never had any of mine graded. I'd love to but so costly. Plus I'd be devastated if they came back "details".
