This is one such coin that falls into that category.  If it were just a 1964 cent struck on a rupee we could say that a mint employee had some fun.  The fact that it is on a supposedly CANCELLED Indian coin makes even more of a stretch!  IMO, TPGS's should have a label category for fantasy coins and Pieces de caprice such as this made for whatever the reason.[/QUOTE]
