Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 02/18/2012 09:55 am Anyone have an idea what this is? I bought something else, but the seller sent me this. He has no idea what happened to the one I bought. I do not have this already, so I will probably keep it, but it would be nice to see what it is and what it is worth. Thankfully, I did not pay very much for it. It weighs just under 4 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 02/18/2012 5:14 pm drkrish21, do you see any sign of my coin being a counterfeit? Or can you say how I can find out if it is genuine or not? The weight was off by quite a bit, it weighs 3,79 grams, but with these older Indians that is - in my experience - quite common. Report this Post to the Staff
