I would ask experts for your opinion and to publish photos of your 1/12 anna 1874 Calcutta mint. Greetings from Poland, Robert Report this Post to the Staff

See this for example: https://townhallcoins.com/british-i...-12-anna-ef/ This is in a much better grade. I've been comparing it, the nose line matches up as does all the lettering.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7969 Posts	Posted 08/24/2022 4:52 pm At the very least, the coin has taken a couple of bad hits, one on the rim and one to the base of the crown over Victoria's forehead. And I would guess the obverse got a cleaning a while back. But I am not seeing any really obvious differences compared to an authentic one. Report this Post to the Staff
BRaj New Member Poland 46 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 08:09 am Thank you @tdziemia for your opinion. Unfortunately the coin is copy. The weight is less than it should be: it is 1.84 g and it should be 2.10-2.15 g. The diameter is also slightly smaller. Moreover, I searched auctions and found coins with the same hits. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3551152 https://www.numiscart.com/pcggraded...d-2184293328 Report this Post to the Staff
