<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 2471082, member: 40017&quot;]I think you were on the wrong page in Krause. This is purporting to be a Gold Sovereign of 1817, Krause #674, about 3 pages later in my 7th edition.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to authenticity:</p><p>1. The coin looks a bit off - the surface of the horse&#039;s rump looks a little &quot;bubbly&quot; and not as natural as I would expect.</p><p>2. Napoleon was defeated and exiled in 1815 - so waht would anyone be doing putting his bust on a coin at least 2 years later?</p><p>3. Look at the seller&#039;s location. With all due respect to the honest traders in Poland I would be wary of anything being sold from Eastern Europe. What would such a coin be doing in that region anyway? A lot of Russian items of dubious veracity are shipped out through Eastern Europe so I would suspect it originated from there, whether the seller is aware of it or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
