Are these coins (this one and Dr. Prasad from another thread) circulation coins?

yes and no
they are issued for general circulation but they hardly ever make it. majority of them are bought by dealers who sell them for fabulous prices

make sure you get both the dies
the first die has the regular image
the second one has a lot of flow lines on it. it looks like scrratches on the coin but in light it sparkles beautifully

a discrepancy in weight? well those are little secrets to weed out the real from the fake, so if I get one at 23.2mm diameter... it must be a fake been busy - got lasered by the borg! have a great day spock! |
