Indian Token of a Different Sort...

Just won this at auction last night and I'm stoked!

3 oz. of pure silver... it appears cleaned, but I'm hoping the relief is as crazy as it looks in the pics.

Here are the dealer's pics... mine will be better.

very very good buy

 

That is a beautiful coin!!!

 

no its a token but yes its beautiful

 

3 oz, It must be nice in hand. Do you know the diameter of this coin ? It looks fairly thin so it has to be fairly large.

Congratulations man

 

You know, I don't really know...

Watch now, this will end up being as big as a hubcap! lol

 

er y not devote ur energies for more pics of the others some of us are waiting more than others u know :hammer:

 

Well, I'm at work at the moment... oddly, the boss frowns on it when I leave and go home to play with my coins.

 

oh well when u get home then if i had coins like that i wouldnt have a boss

wait a minute i dont have a boss

 

3 oz. boy that's massive :goofer:. Great buy Scott :thumb:

This souvenir would have fitted nicely with my 1973 stamp year set.
Man if I only knew about the auction.

 

we still havent seen pics :hammer:

 

Heh, was a busy weekend!

Wait... are looking for pics of that Indian coin lot I bought or this medal?

I don't have this medal in hand yet, but I DID manage to go through that Indian lot last night. It was late and I was going to post the dealer pics for you at least, but they are really low-res so I figured I'd take some pics tonight... I promise!

The dealer was fairly accurate in his grading in my opinion, but I'd be interested in hearing your opinion. There are a fair number of AU and Unc coins in the lot, and quite a few are all toned up (some attractive, some not so much).

There are a few VF and XF coins there as well, but as I said, I paid a fraction of 2007 KM prices and we both know those prices are quite low to begin with. For example, the 1916B Rupee is probably VF or XF but I got it at almost melt... crazy.

 

dea aslan i have already seen the pics of this medal. coins the 40 or so u bought rmemeber those !!!!! yes yes i am all pumped up BTW i have writtent he introdction for the book - first draft will write the other lists that we agreed upon and send it you and joe

 

Okay, I took the pictures last night and edited a bunch... hopefully I'll get the rest finished tonight.

They're fairly large (1024 x 768) so I'll have to host them locally and post the links... again, later tonight.

Be patient.

 

you might be my friend but dont make me come after u :hammer:

 

I'm posting these mostly for Spock, but if you have an interest in Indian coins, feel free to take a look.

Bear in mind that the 2 Anna coins are tiny and don't look as nearly as impressive when blown up so high! lol

A few have some impressive die cracks, and almost all of them (especially the older ones) are toned. I'm not sure if I like the toning on most of them, but at least it tells me that they haven't been tampered with much.

Also, bear in mind that I always call the date side the obverse, ever if it isn't correct...

Anyway, enjoy:

Scott, your coin rocks dude! Nice pic up!

 

u have no idea how much money u could have made if all of these were unc probably got a few UHR in exchange very nice :thumb:

 

Yeah, I hear ya...

What do you mean by UHR?

In hand, I thought some of these would grade MS but now after looking at the enlarged pics, I'm not so sure.

Do you think any of them would grade MS?
