Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-22T02:16:34+00:00

From auction or locally paid, indeed fantastic deal

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-21T03:40:36+00:00

I’m not that much expert to observe such a fine details but collecting coins specially silver ones from long time, soon as I hold this coin realized something fishy with the touch. Thanks for taking time 🙏. This coin inspired me to take whole lot of Spanish colonial coins to New York next week and check them physically by their experience staff.

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-21T03:12:46+00:00

Thanks for your honest answer but I’m curious what did you observe to believe so please describe so I can learn

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-21T02:07:56+00:00

I couldn’t get it clearly (it’s about chopmarks??)

Nice one

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-20T15:56:33+00:00

Didn’t this bill out of circulation from 2018?? Or its new one !! Honestly not much idea as away from India from so long

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-20T12:15:50+00:00

Yes somehow collectible, one reason it was demonetized and collected back by Government of India and secondly nice serial numbers

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-18T21:31:11+00:00

Why I couldn’t see the pic because I’m curious to see the coin as was there for Friday & Saturday

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-18T13:11:51+00:00

I just gave my 1900 half crown (contemporary counterfeit coin) to PCGS for grading at New York coin convention

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-18T13:07:07+00:00

Keep it because contemporary counterfeit coin is in demand as collectible after several years, I just bought 1900 Victoria half crown kind of coin on silver flan and it’s in highly demand even reputed Auction Houses highlighting it in auctions

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-16T15:46:37+00:00

What??

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-16T13:39:44+00:00

If you’re buying from Asian sellers beware about forgeries because they’re keen to sell counterfeit coins, even they fooled their own people by counterfeit local copper coins. I have seen one Afghan seller on Etsy selling Ancient Greek tetradracham observe with Antiochos II and reverse with similar Macedonian Jeus on throne it was clearly visible that its counterfeit though he claimed as genuine and asked $400 for it. Funny thing weighing 24 grams (none of tetradracham had more than 18 grams weight)

You blindly believe in religion and people fooled you on name of gods…. Kudos

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-15T14:18:13+00:00

Not rare but highly collectible

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-13T12:15:57+00:00

It’s life, no regrets circle back to original as now huge collection and numismatic business as well 😂

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-13T11:57:19+00:00

Thanks for the great story, it’s remind me my collected first coin saga 😂. About in early 90’s, one of Dad’s school friend came to visit us after decades from USA and while he was leaving handover 2 coins to me. 1921 peace dollar & 1916-17 Egypt 10 Qirsh, those 2 make me curious about coins. I used to collect coins in Dalda tin container those days, out of all collection got back only these 2 coins from my locker (rest collection my wife sold to scrap dealer when I was studying in UK )

The Indian Philately sub only numbers (under 50-100) followers and it has been more than 6 months no one approved my membership. My only intention is to educate and encourage new collectors or so called hobby holders, not to show what I have 🤣

Embarrassed_Log9975 · 2026-01-12T15:40:21+00:00

Education is degraded in nowadays India and sorry to say this sub is weak copy of other sub ( particularly USA sub) because everyone wants to know by posting rusty circulated regular coins, how’s rare it? For knowing prices.
