Dear Akhedia,

I am a typical hypocritical and stingy coin collector (or enthusiast) who refuses to pay anything above the face value of a NCLT. I will stick to my "higher moral ground" and wait till it turns up in circulation.

Unless there happens to be a miracle and i sight the coin in circulation, in that case I will hoard/stash a few and claim those to be very very rare and then sell them to someone on ebay in USD. With the sinking Indian rupee, this may be the last resort at survival.

Regards,
PS: Nothing personal against u or anyone, I am in a currently in a bad phase or mood. Everything going down except for my BP!

Maybe you should troll the few successful members on the board ... they seem to get all kinds of coins almost every other day

Hi Mumbapuri
Hope your BP would fall in line with falling Rupee.
You can never get NCLT on face value. What you get in circulation are CLTs.      

[mumbapuri]

Kansalji  u r right it is CLT. Yes, my BP is now going in the same direction as the INR...

Dear Dheer, I am still to figure out the meaning of troll; i am under a false impression that it is a monster

Here you are

Pabitra, just as FYI, the obverse lion is wrong... I assume you may have taken it from David rivieras site. The lion here is of Vaishno Devi ie smaller.
The lion on motilal Nehru is regular sized ie like malaviya, Kuka etc
