The napolean coin is in great shape. These turn up quite a bit the uk as I believe they were used as substitute pennies for a while. I've had three in the last year or so all from different sites in different counties on club digs. None are as good as yours though! ::g

Strange how we would have used a substitute coin with ones from another country back then, I am learning something new each day in this hobby.
Thanks
