This explains a lot. I bought very few coins from him because he was usually high on lower grade coins that I wanted because of some small...
That prow with eye, three prong ram and waves is very cool. The obverse is not bad either!
I was going to ask that, too. When I think of Nanipanda symbol, I think of the one on the reverse right of this Yaudheya. Clarifications...
The Mite is particularly interesting because it appears to be a flipover double strike. It would be nice to determine if the same dies were used...
Just to point out that crooks live everywhere, these come in fourree, too. [ATTACH]

I see no BD but suppose you could poke that hard green lump with a toothpick just to be sure it is not powdery. I'd be very surprised if it were....
