    Philip, fortunately Sid has been so gracious as to share with us truly singular wonders from his and Alicia's own museum. In fact, private museums are often in a better position to preserve these masterpieces than state-owned or foundation-controlled museums. It is our great fortune that we are being allowed to view such tremendously rare and exciting pieces. Thank you Sid and Alicia!!!

    By the way, your Polish is perfect, Sid...image

    PS: I'm a fool for old toning on gold, so I have to call special attention to the Sig III ten ducat piece. Wow, what a coin.

    Could someone re-post these pictures? Or send me them to admin@second-republic.com ? I would like to add the Constitution picture, with permission of the owner of course, to my website which is devoted to coins of Poland 1919-1939. The site is at www.second-republic.com
