[QUOTE="Mat, post: 1400093, member: 21445"]I live close to a antique mall, literally a block away and its a place I havent gone to in awhile. Well bored Sat. I decided to go and see what has changed, nothing much. I checked out the booths with coins and most were overpriced/cleaned moderns. There was one though with a jewelers pad that caught my eye.

It looked like a mauryan punch mark but not silver. Spent time Sun. researching and it looks to be a Sunga, which I never heard of. It seems to match a discription I found buried in google search. $5 for it btw....also my photo. Any more info is greatly appreciated.
