Came across this indian a little while ago and can't figure out why they want so little for it. Seems like a crazy bargain at the price, even though The obverse has a fair number of small hits on it. Still looks like an XF-40 coin to me at least - 45 maybe. Why would this coin be cheap? Thoughts?

Well, never mind - price was $33 so I tried to buy it. Couldn't - they said they wouldn't sell it to me. Sent a message asking "why not?" Turns out somebody had listed it at the wrong price. New price: $122.

Oh well, I tried...

Plenty of ungraded examples on ebay right now around that price. Doesn't seem unusual.

Not $33 for an XF45 1861. Could not figure it out! Somebody simply messed up. Wish they would have honored that price!

It's damaged and cleaned. You didn't miss out on anything.
