paxbrit Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 8:03 pm Looks good from the photos, I'm not seeing any obvious signs of fakery, but there are some pretty good fakes out there. Weight is good. no mint mark I can see, makes it Calcutta Mint, which is the lowest mintage for 1902 by a factor of 30, so 3x the price of the Bombay Mint means it could be more likely to be faked. I don't have mine out of the safe, so won't make a comparison, but you might want to find another in a shop and compare first hand. Check the relief and serifs, for a start.
