<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bgarg, post: 200443, member: 1876&quot;]Biju, some nice looking copper coins of Tipu Sultan. I am sure you got them from some reliable sources or auction firms.</p><p><br /></p><p>You didn&#039;t mentioned anything regarding weight or size of each of these coins. Is there any double paisa in this group? The double paisa coins of Tipu Sultan are famous for being counterfeited (Some 3 years ago few of those counterfeit double paisa appeared in some famous auction catalogs in US which were withdrawn later).</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I find strange is that all coins are dated AH1216 (except last coin on which there is no date). It may be pure coincidence that all coins you posted are of this date, but is memory serves, the other counterfeited double paisas were also dated AH1216. I will check this later and will let you know.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would suggest that you weight/measure each of these coins and if they are within acceptable limits for those denominations. You just have to make sure that you are getting what you paid for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards</p><p>Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
