Not very I don't think - 1862 British Indian rupees have various dot patterns (reasons unclear) that are reportedly faked with little drops of melted metal. Report this Post to the Staff

Either due to PMD or maybe a planchet issue. Not a Cud. And not melted/dropped metal. Watch your top knot Edited by echidna 11/15/2021 05:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
Basil Pillar of the Community Australia 1041 Posts	Posted 11/27/2021 5:17 pm Just noticed this on ebay,similar to the PMD Coins on ebay when it started in Oz. Never can be 100% sure but at the time,1990's,Dealers were au fait of the process of artificially introduced ' Cud'. The technique probably goes back to when Coins were first Minted in Oz.,just that ebay gave the tricksters a market place for the naive. Report this Post to the Staff
