    Dear All,
    this is my first topic in coin talk ...
    I do have British India 1 silver rupee dated 1939, it is know to be among the rarest british indian coin ..
    After I bought it, I got two opinions in it's authenticity, one said it is original, other said it is a fake one.
    I'm uploading the picture of both sides for the expert to help out to determine the authenticity of this coin, as I'm interested in selling it but can't do anything before approving that the coin is original.
    P.S. unfortunately the previous owner cleaned the coin, so it is looking brighter

    It has the dot under George VI so that would make it 1939(b), hard to authenticate a coin from photographs.

    Try weighing it on some digital scales it should weigh 11.66 grams.

    Check the edge, is it reeded, flat or security edge ?
