Recently found in united kingdom whilst digging garden, have been told it could be trench coin from ww1, it is on e bay and finishes saturday morning, i wondered if anyone has a rough valuation on it so i dont make a mistake and sell it for anything less than its worth as it is quite a piece of art.Thanks in advance.
this is probably what happened someone took a 1906 rupee wiped the obverse clean and reengraved it with a design. i would call it a conversation piece and yes if u want to know that rupee was from the bombay mint
if u found a coin and scribbled 666 on it would it mean anything? who knows who cares prolly some number maybe used as a token
Eoe1a1 if you do it in mirror totally lost me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do live in the east of england though Eoe could it stand for this ?
Let me start off by saying I know NOTHING about this, but here is my totally uninformed opinion. I could very well see that as being a souvenier from a travelling brit soldier or official in india, similar to getting a penny stretched to commemorate a visit to a place like that. the number could be a date, in which case it could be the date the obverse was made or the date that person entered service, or anything else in the past. Or it could be a serial number, division number, passport number, just about anything. But it definitely looks like a handpunched design, which would most likely mean that no one but the owner or maker will ever know what it is. Regardless, neat piece of history!
Its about perspectives , what you see as altered Mint could be a art in another ans opinion ! Maybe not a coin to sell ! Cheers
