Thought some of you might like to see these. My step-father fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Here are some momentos he brought back from Europe. I inherited these when he passed away. They were recently donated to the White Oak Civil War Museum (he has a small WW2 display). By the way, those of you out there who have never been to this museum really do owe it to your self to make the visit.

The comparable ones I could find were worth a bit of money but not a great deal, maybe $100-$200.

Interesting coins. Are the top two aluminum? I bet your step dad had some amazing stories. Thanks for sharing
I really don't know what they are made of but I don't think it is aluminum? I'll have to look and see if I still have more like them.

Very cool indeed.
I found a 1939 German 1 Reichsfennig in the penny drawer at work, last year.
I still wonder how it was passed up and got there!
I like how German coinage changed in the course of the war. They started out with decent metals and ended up using zinc and aluminum by the end of the war. Funny how even that tells a story of how the war went for them!
