Can the specialists here help to identify whether this is a genune coin? If so, is the asking price reasonable? Have a nice weekend. Thank you very much. Report this Post to the Staff

The pattern should overlap in two places (check for a cut in the pattern, with two incomplete leafs), at 12'clock from each other. Report this Post to the Staff
g0306047 New Member Singapore 24 Posts	Posted 09/17/2011 04:42 am Many thanks, MathieuMa. I checked the coin, apparent overlapping is found at the rim near 'IND'(the first pic). However, 180degree apart, the overlaping of the leaf shape is very minor: it seems to me that the distance between two leafs is a little bit short(see the 4th and the last picture below). By the way, this coin is 27.0g. Thank you. Edited by g0306047 09/17/2011 04:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
