Allcoinage Pillar of the Community Australia 1510 Posts	Posted 07/26/2025 8:25 pm Hi , I'm just wondering if this coin is common in India with weakly struck coins or is it PMD. Much appreciated for any feed back. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 07/26/2025 9:37 pm How's the weight? If underweight, then it might be a slightly thin planchet. If not, it might be Struck Through Grease. As you point out though, it might also just be heavy circulation wear.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21588 Posts	Posted 07/27/2025 08:54 am The weight should be 4.9g so it is within spec. I would say that it is a partial Grease Filled Die. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 07/27/2025 7:47 pm I'd say weak strike from worn dies. India mass-produces billions of coins and quality control is by necessity far weaker than for a typical Western mint.
