Madkev Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 Well the coin has just arrived back from CGS and it's been encapsulated which I understandmeans that they believe it to be authentic.The details of the label are as follows: Great Britain Guinea 1722 4B.HI err. Field Damage F CGS variety 04 25226 - 1G.G1.1722.04So it's authentic but is classed as Field Damage - so CGS will not give a value.But it's pure gold and not a forgery - well chuffed and worth the £30 charge for peace of mind.

The reason for sending it to CGS was that there was much sceptisism on this Forum that it was a fake!Kevin Quote
