Can I take you to the darkside?

Been lusting after this coin for several years, and finally had the chance to pull the trigger.

Polish 1932 10 Zlotych NGC PF65, London mint. It's a pop 1/0, and few if any other examples exit.

    It seems this coin is like the moon - only one visible side.

    Maybe that's what he means by the "darkside"?

    I like the design of the obverse, but personally I would have included at least one four-leaf clover.

    Lovely coin. I've always thought that it has an especially nice obverse design.

    Darth digs it, too.

    The other side (which I believe is actually the obverse?) is DMPL compared to the Jadwiga side's brilliant cartwheel:

    Looks like the pose the buzzard had just before hitting it with my truck the other day.

    Nice coin. Congrats on the pickup.

    Ethereal design. Simple and exquisite. Mr. Ricks has the knack.

    Mel's wife dies earlier. That's the wussy Crown Prince's wife. Played by (I think) Sophie Marceauimage

    I'm lost in the darkside, though the image is cool and dark and served (as you can see) with excellent presentation. My question is"Can you guide me back?" "OK, drag me back". In the meanwhile image

    Colonel, Mr Ricks is a great young world coin dealer, perhaps the best at his age level, .......seriously take him to a steak dinner in NY City sometime and pick his brain on the darkside.....things will be more clear.image

    I've known James since 2000 and your estimation of him matches mine. I keep telling him to stay in school and not give up his day job.image

    TC says he's happy to work for James and keep his books straight, do his shipping, and get his laundry done for him when he's in town.image
