[QUOTE="Aslanmia, post: 1047876, member: 11753"]Okay, this is driving me nuts... It's pretty easy to tell the difference on the larger coins, especially the silver rupees, but I know it's a bit harder to tell on the smaller, especially copper coins. I recently purchased a small group of 1/12 Anna coins that were (reportedly) purchased from Baldwin's many years ago as restrikes. Now the strike and details on these coins are fantastic, but they do not have any reflective surfaces (which I know is not necessarily a prerequisite for a restrike). That said, I have a number of other very well struck (supposedly) business strike 1/12 Anna coins to compare them to, and I really can't see much of a difference! I know someone is going to ask for pics, but I thought I'd throw the question out there before I went to the trouble... ;)[/QUOTE]
