akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 09/23/2009 3:04 pm Hi, I've been trying to identify the two small coins with no luck. Anyone have any idea's? I put the US cent in there to show how really small they are. And that 1865 from Mexico looks a lot better in hand then the picture depicts. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 09/23/2009 9:08 pm The tiny copper coin is a 1 cash from the Indian state of Travancore. Example on WCG. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

If it is not marked it is plated. See below or go onto ebay to find a plethora of others... often sold as solid gold, because the seller may have bought them as solid gold... erroneous in any case. https://goccf.com/t/38192 Report this Post to the Staff
Buzzard Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 09/23/2009 10:30 pm The small Mexican tokens are found silver-colored as well as gold-colored. From the photo, yours looks to be silver colored. They can be found on E-bay with a "pay it now" price of under three dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 09/23/2009 11:07 pm Thanks for the replies! Yes, the Mexican token is silver in color. I had thought it was silver but will go with plated until I learn otherwise. And Sap; I don't know how you did it but you picked it right. When I looked at KM 46 I saw the note: Thick. Well, it's not particularly thick so I followed to the Bala Rama Varma II listing of KM 57. But the planchet is about 1.1mm and it weights real close to .65 grams. Thanks.
