simpsonstorage1 New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 03/07/2014 8:11 pm Hi guys, is this a coin? Does anybody recognize it? It is about the size of a dime but 3-4x as thick & looks hammer stamped. It looks familiar to me like it may be an old transit token that was run over? Is it a coin or? Or?... thanks for the help! * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING from the subject * Report this Post to the Staff

simpsonstorage1 New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 03/08/2014 11:43 pm Thanks. I'm assuming it probably isn't a coin then if this is the right place and a lot of expert eyes have seen it Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 1:10 pm I was thinking of one of those thick little Indian coins as well. Sap seems well versed in them... https://goccf.com/t/171275 Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16836 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 5:28 pm Sorry for not replying to this thread earlier. It was posted on the first Friday of the month (my coin club day) and unless coins posted on that day are real easy, I can't take the time to research a proper reply. This coin is not real easy. Some kind of "old Indian coin", it almost certainly is. Unfortunately, there's not enough of the inscription left for me to offer anything helpful as to a more precise ID. I can't even tell whether it's Arabic or a native Indian script. Any chance of getting a weight? Nearest 0.1 grams might be helpful. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
simpsonstorage1 New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 7:04 pm Hi sap. The weight is teatering on my scale... between 3.7-3.8 grams Report this Post to the Staff
simpsonstorage1 New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 7:08 pm Oh & to fuzzy... I have a bag of vintage world coins from a storage unit I bought that belonged to a ww2 pilot/occupation soldier turned colonel who did a lot of globe trotting. I will go through them when I get a chance looking for coins with your birthyear and get back to you Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 10:39 pm Thanks for looking simpsonstorage1, but according to the Buy/Sell/Trade/Want List Rules we would not be able to buy, sell, or trade for a while. Report this Post to the Staff
simpsonstorage1 New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 11:14 pm That's fine. I probably won't get to it for a while...lol Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16836 Posts	Posted 03/11/2014 11:06 pm 3.7 grams does not fit well into the "regular" rupee series of weights. It's either from an obscure state that didn't use rupees, or from considerably older than the rupee scale was introduced. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
