Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 05/04/2014 06:17 am To be slightly narrower, it's one of a class of coins known as "Indian States coins", from sometime roughly between 1700 and 1900. Which state, and a narrower date range, can be tricky. These coins were hand-made, using dies that were much wider than the actual coins. So sometimes the important details you need to properly identify it are simply missing. 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
