<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 131619, member: 283&quot;]It&#039;s been a while since I looked at my Indian coins, but I used to be really into the regal coinage of India and still have a quite extensive collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>On these half rupees the mint mark is usually found on the stem of the upper flowr (reverse). You will either need very good eyesight or a strong magnifier in order to see it though. I couldn&#039;t tell from the scan whether or not there was a mint mark present, but that&#039;s because the scan wasn&#039;t clear enough for that purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen some Bombay mint marks not only being a reversed `B&#039;, but also upside down at the same time....and before you ask, yes, in proper circumstances the top half of the B is smaller than the bottom half, and you can tell the difference! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve circled in red the area you should be looking at with your magnifier to find the incused reversed `B&#039; .</p><p><br /></p><p>cheers,</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
