Dear Ballabh, http://cgi.ebay.com/India-Hyderabad...ryZ45138QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem what do you think of this? these were highly counterfeited also.
A beautiful coin. The full Asharfi from Hyderabad is pretty common and easy to get high grade example close to it's bullion value (Specially when gold is all time high) The counterfeits you are mentioning were made to fill the local demand for these coins and not to deceive collectors. So, if you are buying this coin from any full time dealer with decent return privileges, I don't see any risk. Good luck. Regards, Ballabh Garg
