<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 24687704, member: 83845&quot;]Thanks for the additional information. I believe that the collector who suggested Kroh did so because the coin he bought directly from Kroh came with a very similar tag. I suspect it may be that both coins go back to an older collection and Kroh simply passed the tag along with the coin. I have been planning to reach out to Kroh on it to confirm but haven’t yet done so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your suggestion of an Italian tag makes a lot of sense. The auction house described this coin as being from a “European Collection” formed in the 1980s. The mystery continues…</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of mysteries I have another coin with an interesting tag worth talking about. The auction description said this coin and envelope came from the inventory of Karl Kress from the 1950s/60s. Kress died in 1969 so that is certainly possible. I don’t have any of the Kress catalogs so I’ve never been able to check.</p><p><br /></p><p>You seem to be very knowledgeable on this topic. Any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1575223[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1575225[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
