latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 12/04/2009 12:39 am Here is another example of how these dies were used way past their use by date. Aside from general weakness throughout the entire coin, and aside from the die cracks that almost circle the whole reverse, check out the re-engraving on the reverse. Sorry about the pictures, I have never taken pictures through a slab before. The following show the detail better. http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/...ic/1921n.jpg http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/.../1921nat.jpg http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/...921crack.jpg http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/...ic/1921d.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/04/2009 01:09 am That's a very interesting coin! Those detail photos really show the amount of handwork involved. Did the obverse legend get a similar treatment, such as for the GEORGE V KING? Almost looks it! Cool coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/04/2009 01:39 am I really love these rupees. While they look amazing, they often had many problems. Quality control was very low in many of the British colonies during the 19th and 20the centuries. So the weak strike and die crack are pretty typical. But still, great coin!
