Received this coin last week. The packaging is again bad, if not very bad like the Rs 200 coin of Tatya Tope, that I received earlier! God knows if people in Kolkata Mint know how to pack coins properly! Mumbai mint still has better packing of the coins & they last well. I have the 2009 Homi Bhabha set (Rs 100+10) from Mumbai mint & it still is in pristine condition in the original packaging...

I somehow feel that strikes of Mumbai Mint are better & more prominent then Kolkata Mint, though Kolkata mint coins are cheaper to book.

Even the quality of the coin is bad compared to Mumbai Mint.

Rebooking open.
