thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 07/25/2014 04:34 am I take it that the weights are okay. If so then there's nothing (in my mind) to suggest that they aren't genuine. Very nice detail on the 1874. I'm also assuming you got them in Britain. Just think how many people went to India at the time and returned with a few coins so there would be less wear on them.

sstlucky New Member United Kingdom 11 Posts	Posted 07/25/2014 06:09 am Thanks.What should be the correct weight? Also, do you see any problem in second "I" of Vicotria. It seems like the bars on I 1874 to 1876 half rupees were smaller than Victoria empress half rupees Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 07/25/2014 08:50 am The weights are absolutely fine 5.83 grammes in the catalogue in uncirculated. I see no problems with the "I" in Victoria. Could be wear on the obverse of the dies. The reverse dies would have to be changed for the date. Report this Post to the Staff
