<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 7637809, member: 5233&quot;]If I understand the history of this coin. When Farouk purchased it he had to get an export license to get it out of the country which was mistakenly granted. </p><p><br /></p><p>After he was overthrown, his possessions were to be auctioned including this coin. When the US government demanded it be returned due to it mistakenly be exported it disappeared only to reappear 40 years later in the hands of a NY dealer. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is there any actual evidence that this was Farouks coin?&nbsp; It seems more likely to me that the dealer in NY acquired a different example of the 1933 Double Eagle and when he was arrested claimed it was Farouks hoping it would improve his legal claim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
