Yes, both shillings are somewhat broadstruck. You are right! Many Obverse Rupee Brockages of British India have been showing up on ebay. Be careful, as some collectors in India say that some of these are fakes, made in the last 5 years or so. (I used to have seven Brockage Pair of that country (silver and copper types), but they went when I sold my collection. Thanks for asking). Regards, Bill |

I guess I haven't taken a close look, but the British India brockages that I have seen have been good from a glance. |

Hi Serial, A genuine obverse Brockage, with a beautiful incuse side, in my opinion  . The green spots on the raised side hurt its value a bit, so my guess is that it should bring $60 to $75 US dollars. Bill |

Those last two don't look good at all. Fakes...

The Victoria, with its porous surfaces, is, sadly, a fake.

Indeed, these are not only fake coins, but fake brockages (that is to say, *forced* brockages rather than accidental) as well, manufactured in mainland China.

HI,
Thanks to every one for identifying and authenticating the coin. I think I should return it back to the seller.
Have you guys have come accross of counterfiet 1841 mohur as I can see some people here have said about Chineese mande?
I have read about 1888 mohur on another post which was actually being posted by NGC in theri article

Hi, THanks for your authentication. It is good that these type of forums help collectors to get saved from cheaters and counterfieters. Guys - I need am sharing pics of 1841 mohur divided legend. Do you see any problem in this coin, particularly as some one mentioned about Chinese counterfiets and I have recently read an article about 1888 mohur in NGC which was produced using transfer die method. Apparently below coin looks ok but I am not sure if there any issues you guys notice, particularly I noticed a mark after the word "ashrafi" like "I" on the obverse. Would appreciate you opinion on this. THanks    |

Since these so called brockage pieces are coming up more and more nowadays, I am eager to learn how you can distinguish a real one from a fake one. I have a brockage 2 centimes of Belgium (of which I will post pictures later on) and want to establish if it is real one or not. I did not buy it as a single piece, but as part of a collection.
