I got lucky with this one
My bro came across this is a northern harrier hawk dollar in his wallet one day, and he gave it to me. I guess the original owner miss placed it because this is part of a set that you'd probably have to go out of your way to buy. There were only 35000 minted and none were put in circulation. So this is probably the most valuable piece to my collection 😊
A Neat Little Thing
This is a 1941 Reichs pfennig. This coin was minted for four years during the war in Nazi Germany. It's composed of just zinc, so the value isn't very much, and as you can see there are some white patches from oxidation. My mom found it a year or so back when she was cleaning out her dresser. I think she told me that after the war there were a lot of them left over, and a whole wheelbarrow of them couldn't buy you anything. Naturally people got rid of them so you don't come across them very often. Its a neat little piece of history to my collection.

My favourite conspiracy theory
The best part is, is that this guys parents backed it up better than most people can back up their religion.
