My first try at this broke the budget coding we use on rdrama, so here is attempt 2.
I got upmarseys and one comment saying yes so here is my historical artifact collection. It's still on the smaller side but I am a slow buyer. There is no particular order but I'll list my favorite three by name at the end.
A Dead Mans Penny. This was one of the first things I ever picked up. Britain gave these out to every commonwealth soldier who died in WWI. They came with a Plaque and a Scroll but I unfortunately do not have either. I would love a matching set someday.

Burger WWII war ration book. These aren't rare at all, but I like to remember a time when burgers had to live without abundance.
You've seen these if you have watched any German Historical thing. This is a 1916 Pickelhaube. The condition of mine is bad. The Reichsadler is missing his left claw along with the Globus Cruciger it should have. it has damaged in the back, the material is beat up and dry. All things that I knew when I bought it. Likely material is either pressurized felt, or paper on this bad boy.

1897 Medal awarded in Prussia for the celebration of the 100th birthday of Emperor Wilhelm the 1st. I like this one, it's neat.
Chernobyl military liquidators badge. This is my only commie piece, my Foid got it for me a few years back. It was given to military members who worked in the liquidation of the Chernobyl incident.

Burger WWII victory medal. Given to military members who served in WWII

French 1916 WWI Verdun Battle Medal. This was given to everyone who served around Verdun. Originally meant for just those who fought at the battle but was given more widely.

Burger Pacific Campaign WWII medal. Self explanatory, medal for victory in the pacific during WWII.
Roman coin, I don't remember the emperor. See the fetch Romulus and Remus on the back.
German third reich coins from 1944. Just got these so I don't have many details on them. Coins aren't really my thing generally but these were a gift.
Stamps from Nazi Germany. Stamps also aren't my thing, but anything from a dead fascist country is kinda cool. I don't know much about these, I have others somewhere too.
I can only upload 20 images at a time, so this will continue in the pinned post.

The Pickelhaube alone was $300 USD equivalent.
The 1911 ran $1200 USD equivalent.
The medals weren't too bad. Each ean between 30-60 equivalent.
Dead mans penny I bought a decade ago and don't remember.
