If you can get the diameter and weight that will let you know which coin you have. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...y&te=y&cat=y Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7969 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 8:28 pm According to my precise calculations this is about a 26 mm coin, which (if copper) might be the 1/2 anna: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces47902.html If smaller, then albert is correct.

gr north New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 9:39 pm Thanks to all...I appreciate the knowledge. I am concluding it is the 29mm 1/2 anna coin. I do not know metric but it is a good 3/32 inch over 1 inch which, at .039 mm to the inch, figures way closer to 29mm than 26 I am thinking it is the 2nd issue...it is a thick coin. That's my story and I am sticking to it. Glad I found this forum and will spend some time here... Have some odd old world error coins well american too. Thanks again, Gary Report this Post to the Staff
