BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 12:17 pm is it magnetic? What does it weigh. It does look a little "off" in color. Report this Post to the Staff

Numister Pillar of the Community Singapore 631 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 12:26 pm Not magnetizable, the weight is between 5.8 - 5.9 grams What's a DDO ? Edited by Numister 05/24/2016 12:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 12:33 pm Double Die Obverse. (obverse means the front or portrait side of the coin) There is doubling of the EEN of Queen. The weight and non-magnetism are good signs. It should weigh 5.83 grams give or take a little. It should not be magnetic. Edited by BigSilver 05/24/2016 12:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

dohcollector Valued Member Belgium 464 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 1:05 pm just pointing out that the DDO looks like Machine Doubling (MD) (to me) Report this Post to the Staff
BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 1:09 pm This is the more common TypeB bust/type II reverse. NGC lists this at $200 in VF20 vs. the $900 for the other type. Obverse marker would be the front panels of the queens dress with the bottom panel being cut off halfway. The reverse marker would be at 12 o'clock. The type 1 is on the left and type 2 on the right. Edited by BigSilver 05/24/2016 1:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
paxbrit Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 6:48 pm It just looks 'off' to me. For the money, I'd have it certified and slabbed with the vendor on the hook if it comes back as a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
Numister Pillar of the Community Singapore 631 Posts	Posted 05/25/2016 12:59 am Is DDO - Machine Doubling, a good sign or bad sign ? Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 05/25/2016 08:39 am A true DDO would add value. Machine Doubling would detract. Report this Post to the Staff
Cliffracer New Member Canada 24 Posts	Posted 07/09/2016 4:41 pm $Add Cliffracer to your friends list$ Not to hijack the thread, but I've never seen victorian rupees at the prices listed by NGC (200$ in VF). I see them at around 30$-50$ at coin shows. Maybe I'm missing something. Report this Post to the Staff
