Poland Silver 1831 K.G. 5 Zloty Insurrection vs. Russia Coin Very RARE

Poland Silver 1831 K.G. 5 Zloty

This very rare Poland Silver 1831 K.G. 5 Zloty is from the Byron Kanzinger accumulation.

The coin still shows nice details with a bit of luster.  The rarety of this coin is due to the fact that during the brief, failed November Insurrection against Russia, Poles issued silver and copper coins, including a silver 5 Zloty.  It is rare and hard to find, because Russians confiscated them after the Insurrection failed, while Poles sought to save them and hid them as mementos.  There have been TWO (2) of these coins sold on ebay over the past two months.

I do not use oil or lighting tricks to make my coins appear brighter than they are.  I'm more concerned with showing you the details.  The photographs were taken in natural light, which sometimes "washes out" some of the brightness.  The tone of the coins' surface might be slightly different depending on the light source when you view them.

I am not a dealer or coin grader so please use your own judgement as to the coins condition.

My stepfather passed away in early 1981 and he accumulated coins in cans and jars.

When he took the time to check, he knew to look for 1943 copper pennies or 3-legged buffaloes and not much else.

I sold some of these coins on ebay until about late 2006. My accountant had another client whose son, Bryon Kanzinger, had passed away.  Bryon had been a "private" coin dealer and was considered to be one of the pre-eminent authorities and authors on Civil War tokens and was the person who convinced PCGS to begin to certify Civil War and other tokens.

I walked into Mr. Kanzinger's basement rec room where most raised, flat surfaces were stacked with coins, Civil War tokens (many certified) and reference materials.  There was no real organization to the materials because Bryon had purchased most of the items in bulk before he became ill.

Since I was already selling on ebay and through a few other venues, I agreed to bulk purchase everything I saw so that I could offer the items to those who would be interested.
