<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 574612, member: 1242&quot;]Dutchman,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen this same ring on hundreds of genuine Indian $2.50 and $5 Gold Coins that had never spent time in a bezel! This is the same area on other coins where one would expect the ticking inside the rim. It apparently has something to do with Die Deterioration that occurred with many Indian Gold Coins...especially in the Late Die Stages of the Dies. This ring can be found on the Obverse, on the Reverse and sometimes both and was not made by the coins being mounted in a bezel. I may be wrong with my assessment but hope not for the OP&#039;s sake! I would imagine that PCGS would still slab the coin as &quot;Genuine&quot; even it has resided in a bezel at some time in it&#039;s life!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
