<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2637454, member: 69760&quot;]I recently acquired this 1936 India Edward VIII fantasy crown proof. At first, I thought it was a Richard Lobel issue from 1984 as either X# 90a or 90b, but given the coin&#039;s reeded edge, I&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s either. Krause&#039;s Unusual World Coins catalog lists the same design type as the Richard Lobel series, but each of those are listed as having <i>plain</i> edges. Was this a later strike? I&#039;m not sure that Geoffrey Hearn made any for India in the 1950&#039;s, as they&#039;re not listed in the catalog. But, I&#039;ve found in the past that catalogs have been wrong or omitted info completely, so you never know...</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin weighs in at 22.9 grams and fits my 38mm Quadrum snug. The coin came in the original blue leather and blue velvet presentation box (the typical snap shut, jewelry kind). There was no COA that came with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1090659_zpsjxaip3ty.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1090658_zpsfsgmyal5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]581310[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
