<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 3152376, member: 42034&quot;]One of my first Polish coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; 20 years ago I my wife wanted me to get a Polish coin to show at our wedding.&nbsp; I called Karl Stephens, a California dealer and bought an inexpensive thaler.&nbsp; At the time of purchase foreign was never slabbed.&nbsp; Here&#039;s what I got.</p><p><img src="https://coinsandhistory.com/pix_shared/pix_cointalk/Pol_Th_Ladis4_1634_both_med.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Poland, Thaler, King Ladislawitz IV, 1634</p><p><br /></p><p>Later on I went on a Polish buying kick as I&#039;m part Polish and the things were interesting and inexpensive but not too common. Below is another sample.</p><p><img src="https://coinsandhistory.com/pix_shared/pix_cointalk/Pol_Th_Stan_1766_both_600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Thaler of Stanislaus II August Poniatowski 1766,</p><p>mint state, H. Karolkiewicz: Triton IV auction, New York , Dec 6th, 2000, lot 2450</p><p>I was getting a little more serious at this point. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also at the Dec, 2000 auction I bid on some John Casimir thalers but didn&#039;t win any of them.&nbsp; Finally out of Stacks NYICS (Jan, 2018) auction I got one but it cost me a bit more.&nbsp; It&#039;s in a slab and I haven&#039;t photographed it yet[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
