A while back I received a PM from BlackHawk telling me that he had a 1925 1 zloty that he would be willing to sell me so I jumped on the oppertunity because I really liked the design and the price that he was offering it at. Well I just got back home from my mother's house to find that I had two packages waiting for me. One of them was from BlackHawk containing this coin.

It is really a beautiful coin. Thanks for selling it to me, Bill. It is really a nice example of this very beautiful design.image

The other package was from Newsman. It was his 1998 copy of Krause that he had posted for sale a while back. I figured it would be good enough for me to use to get an idea of what kind of designs where to be had on the dark side. I guess I am really starting to be pulled into your portal more then I thought I was.image

    Nice coin, and it makes a very nice looking icon. And you have the book, after only one purchase. Sounds like a good start, to me. image

    A most excellent first Darkside purchase, Coinaddict. And you are wise to get the book. Dealing with forum members is a good, safe way to start out.
