[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1308195, member: 15445"]This last weekend I found this Tonk India on the cheap. I’d never seen a coin from Tonk or at least I haven’t recognized any as being from Tonk. I’ve never been to Tonk nor have I heard of it before this weekend. Tonk appears on the map just north of Bhopal and just south of Gwalior. This is basically located smack in the middle of India. How do you think a coin from 1932 Tonk ended up in a world coin collection in the Northeast USA? Do you suppose that a Dupont worker carried it home to the States back in 1932 when it was still a red coin? Perhaps there is a big coin collecting base in Tonk? This Pice coin was made as both a 26 mm diameter and a 21 mm coin in 1932. The catalog price for UNC is $3 and $2 respectively. There must be a bunch of them available if the price is only a couple dollars in UNC. My coin depicted here is the 26 mm diameter and is dated 1350 (1932). Thanks for letting me share & please post an Indian coin.[/QUOTE]
