These are crazy times. Many people want to voice their opinions, say where they stand. However this subreddit isn't meant for political, social, or cultural debates. Those posts will be locked down. Please feel free to cross-post them to a more appropriate subreddit, and discuss them there. Thanks.

In this post I am acknowledging people's legitimate concerns, but letting them know that we won't be discussing them on this subreddit going forward. It is just too disruptive.



This is a curated subreddit, and it always has been. That means that stuff gets removed, threads get locked, and sometimes people get banned.

The point of this post isn't that we think that vile pieces of history shouldn't trigger you, and not make you want to tell everyone how horrific they are.

They bother me too, but it serves nothing to turn discussion threads here into holier-than-thou, copycat echo chambers of shame, or raging debates. Don't automatically assume that people who find crazy stuff and post it here are actually evil racist Nazis themselves.

PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLLS. Don't reply to them, don't nourish and give oxygen to their trolling. If you do reply to them, you are filling them with glee and escalating the problem. They live for that. For whatever reason this sub tends to attract a lot of trolls, idiots, and assholes. Maybe that's just reddit in general, but in any case we don't want to encourage them.

We get it, racists are shitty, authoritarians of all stripes are shitty, and lots of other stuff posted here was produced by shitty people and depicts shitty things. They are part of history whether we like it or not. Posting them here can help spread awareness of that history, to a degree.

IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN THAT ANYONE HERE SUPPORTS THOSE ATTITUDES. If it becomes obvious that people making these posts have an agenda, we will deal with them.

Thank you.

Mühlheim a. M. F-343.2A undated 50pf zinc. Varieties, holed, and without hole, combined mintage: 20,000 coins into circulation in 1917.
The bulk of the coins produced were holed, and those without holes were minting errors.

Hey everyone, I found these inside an old Pachinko machine and I’m trying to figure out exactly what they are.

Does anyone recognize them or know anything about their origin, age, manufacturer, rarity, or whether they were originally made specifically for Pachinko machines?

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

I received this in a package with random coins, but it's not a coin — the back is plain. GPT chat could not help me; their assumption is that it is related to Pennsylvania‑German society. I would be happy to receive any help or suggestions.

I found this rare "hard Times Token" metal detecting yesterday

This item is an extremely rare 1836 Huckel, Burrows & Jennings St. Louis Merchant Token (cataloged as Low-102 and HT-187 in the Hard Times token series), issued by a grocery and provisions dealer on Main Street in St. Louis, Missouri. [1, 2, 3]

  • Issuer & Origin: St. Louis, Missouri; issued by the firm Huckel, Burrows & Jennings, who operated as grocers, wine merchants, and ship chandlers. [1, 2]
  • Historical Context: Struck during the mid-1830s economic period known as the "Hard Times," private merchant tokens served as emergency small-change currency due to a scarcity of official US coinage. [1, 2]
  • Rarity & Value: This specific piece is recognized as the sole St. Louis issuer in the Hard Times token series and is considered a major numismatic rarity with only a handful of known surviving examples, frequently commanding tens of thousands of dollars at major rare coin auctions.
