[QUOTE="Aslanmia, post: 766581, member: 11753"]Thanks! You're guess is as good as mine... To the best of my knowledge, these coins are completely undocumented which (as I'm sure you already know) would not be the first time for an Indian coin. I doubt they were actually considering a change from bronze to cupro-nickel for these coins, nor could they be struck on the wrong planchet because of the size and shape. I have a few coins that don't show up in the Krause guide or my other books (don't have a copy of Pridmore's YET :)), so coupled with that and the fact that it was an established dealer, I went for it. My biggest concern is that it may be some sort of toning or discoloration, since the weights are very close to their bronze counterparts. Either way, the dealer guarantees they are authentic and accepts returns so I can return them if they are not to my liking. I'm just wondering what PCGS or NGC would do if I sent them in...[/QUOTE]
