Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 08/07/2017 06:27 am @bob june, can you please post pics that are better lit and closer up (less margin)? I'm not sure that I can see enough to make even a guess. Thx.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/07/2017 10:24 am I am leaning towards genuine, probably cleaned. Mughal rupees were generally fairly well made, and the technology certainly existed in the 1700s to make very even, round flans. Try reaching out to drnsreedhar who frequents the World Coins section; he could probably give a better opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

I guess I always start on the basis "its fake till it proves itself the other way" Good luck... Report this Post to the Staff
