I notice the Numista listing (in your first link) gives it a Rarity index of 95 (on a scale of 1-100), based on what's out there - just in other...
@TrademarkRob (hey, good name!;)) - welcome to CoinTalk! Sorry I was absent when you joined up. Below is mine, in copper, with a hole. I was...
And this is the assessment I agree with. Looks like a cud or similar die-related anomaly to me?
I should probably examine this software @goossen has been discussing...
CollectiveCoin is indeed a great free site for cataloging your collection, and I've been an enthusiastic user, but I've noticed one mildly...

BTW, I like your Indian cent avatar, for some inexplicable reason. Just a nice old well-circulated IHC. I enjoy the look of those. Nostalgia, I...
Neat, but I wonder if it's really unplated, or an acid job instead. The folks who are more into errors will know. The somewhat funky/patchy...
