    Hi,
    I was at a small coin show, and I just picked this piece up for just under 60 USD. I just love the design with the knight on the horse. If somebody could tell me the grade, that would be great. Please post your older Polish Coins.
    Thanks,

    Nice pickup. Mine cost me $98 in a slab. Same date and similar condition to yours! I could've had a slabbed MS61 for ~115-ish (the dealer had three or four pieces to choose from) but I liked this AU58 the most.

    Congrats on having good taste. ;)

    I think these have so much going for them:
    • Early dates
    • Silver
    • Not too tiny
    • Affordable in higher grades
    • Super cool design
    I mean, hey- a charging knight on one side and a great eagle on the other? What's not to like with these, right?

    PS- I would put your coin right up there in the AU range, like mine. I bought mine three or four years ago and have since sold it, but I still love these.

    +1 with @lordmarcovan it's a really cool coin. I definitely need to get one someday. I say it's XF/AU but to me it appears to have been cleaned.

    It may or may not have been cleaned. Most of them have that look. Personally, I think it's market-acceptable and has a solid shot at a straight grade if it were submitted to a TPG. (Not that it needs to be.)
