Obviously no way to prove it for sure, but taking this into account the probability is hugely in favor of assisted versus accidental error. Plus I'm not sure how the same part of the design would be accidentaly struck on both fingers, which are a good inch apart. This practice is why the prices for modern Indian numismatic errors are generally below comparable examples from other countries (with the exception of places like Malaysia and Singapore, also known for their assisted errors). Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
