Great info my friend . Somene I know has found some 100 no:1939 coins from an Indian market . Not sure if they are geniune . I asked a dealer for a 1939 coin and he said it would cost me approx 300 USD . Never found 1939 Rupee on ebay !

 

I agree with Ruben :high5:

 

if i could post images i would be sailing in ayatch somewhere in the caribbean rather than siting here and worrying where my next meal is going to come from

 

yeah i would buy it for 300 if it was genuine chances are its not

What is the significance of 1874 half anna ?

He mentions it weight 12.2gm ....I wonder how a seller like him who says he is selling off coins of his grandma woould weight the coin ...just curious

 

The images wouldn't need to be yours but they would be a great source for reference without looking online or in my reference books!!

 

you are already in my club

 

last it turned up in switzerland it would have been more expensive than the 1933 double eagle had it sold then the coin simply disappeared along with its lil brother coin, which everyone denies that it even exists.

 

the 1939 coin is a counterfeit

 

what me start posting pics that dont belong to me and especially if i own some of the coins. unfortunately i need a camera and that is not going to happen anytime soon. but one day ill post hi quality pics and publish my book

 

Dearest Spock,

one does not need to own a coin to post a pic of it. Look at my avatar, for example. I WISH I owned that... but if I did, I couldn't really say... hmmm

Find reference pics on the net and this type of thread would be a lot more interesting to read.
