@Lea79 hi...Always each to their own, but personally..given the choice and budget... I would save a bit longer and buy a 20 Franga Skanderbegu..probably a 1927 as they sell for less...They are truly great coins!
I wouldn’t normally divulge prices paid, but as this is the best thread (by far) on TSF I will  make an exception.
I paid £670 for the MS64 1927 Skanderbegu, be it lucky, or just the genius skills of my faithful bidder @augur, I don’t know...but that was only a few months ago...patience and fortune will hopefully find you one for about this price!
If you can’t wait...then I would go for the 20 Zlotych ..or maybe post a Wanted advert and see what surfaces...you ever know !

I’d buy the ones in the photo for 10% less.  Unless your planning on sending them to ngc, grading is subjective.  You could pay 10% more for the same coins in the same grade.  At least 3 of those pictures look to be in good condition and the two others are not in terrible condition either. Have you checked the dates to see if there are any rare 1’s included? Could be a nice bonus if there are.
When you go sell them don’t mention a grade.  It’s up to the buyer to interpret the grade themselfs and be happy to pay the price your offering.  

Stragglers arrived this morning thanks again to @Lea79 for the die crack-tastic Victoria Half and another eBay pocket money £1 Proof. 

Late finish at work- but always nice to see the spoils of the last lot of overtime I worked.
Thanks @arshimo2012 for the Dragons and @Lea79 for the 2012 Half.

Lighting a bit bad but here’s all of them.  The nepolian Bonaparte premiar council AN 12 is my fav as it’s old and it’s kinda cool thinking it’s from an iconic time.  The helvitica is also nice as is the Albert 20 franc.
Posted a pic of the Porte Louis tubes which I’ve only just found out about.  They’re 18th century Tubes the French used to store they’re 20francs. They’re really cheap but also very cool. 

@Kookaburracollector
I love the design on the 20 franc roosters.  You can get some in really good condition for bullion price.  I thought about filling a tube of them myself but I like collecting the different designs on some of the other 20 franc pieces.  I wouldn’t mind a 1oz buffalo tho.  They look amazing coins ?.

Yeah that’s the one.  Took me ages to find anything even about it.  It’s certinatly different.

I’ll have a look to make sure I do have a spare then be in touch

20 lita from hgm arrived today.  It’s better than I was expecting.  Cleaned maybe but its only for a type set.

Lol fair play. 

I bought it 😃.  Will let you kno how it turns out.  Worse case scenario it is in bad condition and it goes in the coin tube haha.

I am known spending a day on the train, visiting a dozen different locations in the major cities of the northwestern german sprawl (Ruhrgebiet).
This costs me about €100 in tickets, but it`s all in the hunt - leave with pockets full of money, return with pockets full of gold - it's an adventure 😁
