I was relieved to see there were no bids on the Nazi trash.

I wonder if there's some guy out there that collects little metal cars who really wants to bid, but doesn't want to be the guy who bought the Nazi coin.

Oddly, this also seems like a very weird Nazi token. Hitler's name is misspelled: he never was called "Adolph", ever.

Also, the Nazi swastika is always supposed to be tilted at 45°, also not the case here.

Almost if it's not authentic at all.

Some tool bag probably made it in high school metal shop.

he never was called “Adolph”, ever.

I did not know this. Did they just never use his first name or did he have some kind of preferred nickname?

Maybe this coin is from the same dimension as the Berenstein Bears books!

Oh, yeah, that's a derp for me.

Also by 1943 what english-speaking country would allow for the production of nazi propaganda?

The vast majority were tilted 45° but not all, so that's not necessarily an indication of its inauthenticity. The misspelling is a dead giveaway though.

Example of non-tilted swastika on a flag (1942)

I stand corrected. But I think any "odd" angles such as in this case, where the rotation seems to be somewhat at 20 degrees, would be even more uncommon.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
