Bengal Presidency Mohur

I feel this may be just be a jeweler's imitation of the coin. Anyone else feel that way too?

That is definitely a imitation! no doubt!

Don't be fooled by the "slab" it's in - centsles is a well known "self slabber" of old...

This can fool anyone who is new or has not dealt with Gold coins.
As we see already 16 people are bidding for this coin and few more might jumpin before the auction gets over.

I reported the item as a replica but the seller naturally will say the grading agency graded it as genuine and he is just selling it

[repindia]

These are also collectible (I myself collect these imitation pieces and they sell for a little above melt) though the seller knowingly is misrepresenting these.

[Prosit]

Ah yes, I do remember hime from long ago. I wouldn't buy from him regardless of what he had.

But this seller runs his own "grading agency" - so he has certified the coin himself....
