    I'm trying to determine if these coins are fake and hoping the experts in this group could offer their opinion.

    AR, Silver Rupee, India, Mughal, Shah Jahan, 1038 AH, RY 2, Surat mint:-

    These coins are looking too good to be genuine and would like to consult with you all.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Know how you feel

    I too have a rupee that looks too good to be true. Would welcome any tips on how to verify. This one is supposedly from Amjad Ali Shah, Nawab of Oudh, 1847. But how could one of these be in mint state? Rupee1847Rv.jpg Rupee1847Ob.jpg
