Good to hear (well, read) that it worked out fine! As for how you can "return" the favor - well, just help the next member who has a problem or question.

The coin I've bought from Mr.Clark Smith is shown below.. I hope to get it sometime during the later half of May.

 

wow, that really sucks. breaking the law just in the interewst of collecting coins. I know alot of merchants wont take paypal due to the fees incurred. There is a seller on Ebay i frequent, who states in thier auction that they do not acccept paypal due to the fees. However, i have bought coins and currecny off them a dozen times or more, and i always use Paypal. I just sent them an email the first time i bought off them explaining my issue (i dodnt remember why i had to use paypal but...) and they told me i could use paypal if i add 3% to my total to help cover the fees. I was more then happy to, and we have done lots of business since.

good luck !!!

 

hmm... by the by, which law have I broken?

 

umm .. none :kewl:

 

Just to clarify this - nobody broke any law in this case. It's just that, due to the way the law is, and due to what kind of payment the dealer accepts, the procedure was a little complicated.

yeah .. i got that .. it just sucks that such hoops had to be jumped thru

 

Biju,that will be your first Tulabharam coin.As soon as you get it,you will have to upload some cool photos onto your website.

Aidan.

 

Sure.. I'll do it Aidan..

 

A very nice Tulabharam issue, Biju.

BTW, do you think this is a regular coin or presentation issue?

Ballabh, I do think this is a presentation issue... But these coins does seem to have identical weights like the sovereigns or pagodas of Travancore. Hence, they were treated just like the regular coins in those times.. Actually, these coins were part of a royal ritual... During the ceremony, gold coins of the same weight of the King were given as offering to the temple.. These coins were later distributed to the learned Brahmins. So, in its real sense, this is not a coin at all..
