Great coins De Orc!!! I love the Polish coins. Still have a couple on my list with the "Dar Pomorza" on it. You can see the masts just beyond the training center. This picture was taken recently by a friend who has been to sea on it.
look at all those moving targets problem is, once you hit the first target, the rest get a little more difficult to hit thanks for sharing De Orc always fun to view your updates!!
That's why you can buy bird shot :kewl:and skip the choke. Agree always nice to catch up on your recent acquisitions - sorry for the deviations
If you want the 2006 and 2007 coins from the History of the Zloty series, let me know. I have quite a few 2 zl commems but those are the only double pieces. Some very nice designs, and I also like the fact that they are inexpensive. My two issues with them: These commemorative pieces do not have the same specifications as the regular 2 zl coins (and thus hardly ever occur in circulation) ... and there are way too many issues per year.
