Carrigna Valued Member United States 413 Posts	Posted 09/11/2020 09:52 am Hello CCF members! Hopefully someone who is very familiar with Indian coins could help with me this issue—2007 5 rupee coin. I couldn't find any information on its security edge. I do believe I have a mule according to this page on Numista: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5021.html But the problem is that my coin has a very small part on its edge where it shows it is crude or something like it is being stepped on? I do not see any information on this specific part of the coin itself? I would love to upload the photo or two but I do not know how to take a photo of the edge without touching the sides of the coin? I do hope it is not a fake which is sadly common in India now. Many thanks for your help in advance, Carrigna Report this Post to the Staff

There must be a way to hold the coin on edge to place it and then hold it up to take a picture. Edited by Albert 09/11/2020 7:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Carrigna Valued Member United States 413 Posts	Posted 09/12/2020 5:46 pm Thanks, Albert, for your suggestions! They are helpful! I used a glue stick and put the coin on top without having to touch sides. I think I get a good photo out of the edge or rim. Report this Post to the Staff

Carrigna Valued Member United States 413 Posts	Posted 09/13/2020 5:13 pm Thanks, Albert! So I basically have a damaged mule coin here. The link from Numista is very helpful, too. I will inform the seller that it had been mounted at one point. A bit odd because 5 rupees is not much money but again we do the same with our nickels and dimes even pennies. I do not think he will be willing to give me a break on the coin. But he will lose my repeated business, I think? Again, I thank you for your help and expertise! I am just glad the coin is not a fake at all! Report this Post to the Staff
