Never got a coin from NAC, nor Kuenker but the latter recently gave me a cloth shopping bag &amp; a notebook.&nbsp; The 2 Polish firms I&#039;ve dealt with are also very nice: Salon Numizmatyczny &amp; WCN (Warsaw).</p><p><br /></p><p>However, right now I&#039;ve a lot of reservations about buying any coins as the market is extremely high.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
