Stan Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/08/2012 7:59 pm Hey guys, I need more authentication experience. The first coin is a Tibetan 1 Tangka. Silver, I think. Is it authentic? If so, can anyone date it? I tried but I can't. The second is a Tibetan 1 Sho. It seems authentic, but I can't get the date. I want to say it's 1940, but there's no KM listing for that year. The numbers around the edges are mine - just ignore them. Can anyone help? Report this Post to the Staff

Stan Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 02/08/2012 9:49 pm Hm. I agree with the sho coin. But for the tangka, if you look at the obverse, you see lines instead of tiny dots. Compare to this pic: What do you think? Just a variety difference since there were, in fact, many variations? Report this Post to the Staff

True... the last time I bought one of these I went mad trying to figure out exactly which one it was. There are dozens of different variations, and most catalogs only show pictures of the most representative ones. Report this Post to the Staff
