<p>[QUOTE="spiraltreet, post: 211146, member: 3476"]Hello guys, here's a riddle.. Today, I purchased some dump coins from a dealer. Most of them are in good shape. But, the coin in question is somewhat different. It has got a lot of dirt on it and the features are hardly visible.. And, the most difficult thing is that the coin is having diameter of only 5 mm <img src="http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/bigs/a093.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> . Now, there is one coin which is of the same size as this coin to me and that is a half chuckram (silver) of Travancore. Here, the riddle starts... Because of the dirt, I cannot determine whether the coin with me is indeed silver or its features. And if it is indeed the coin I suspect, then it is going to be a jackpot for me.. This coin has become extremely rare and the price now runs to more than $400.. I've attached both the obverse and reverse of the coin and also a scan of the catalogue in which the coin is shown (please do not care for the value given in the catalogue.. it does not indicate its real value now). Please give me your opinions regarding this.. I'm opening a poll for this thread please do participate actively... :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
