Help review the following coin from Jaintiapur.

5 posts • viewed 63 times

Greetings dear forum readers, the reason for this post is to ask for your help with the following coin from Jaintiapur. It's a Tanka from SE1712, I want to buy some coins from a seller I trust; I've been buying from him for over two years without any problems. The reason I'm asking is that I lack detailed information about these Jaintiapur coins.

I'm sharing photos of the coin and some of its features.

Weight: 8.84g

Diameter: 30mm

It should be noted that the coin appears to have been cleaned.

The numist's reference is as follows:

N#68056

 

I've seen some references with the same variety of points on Zeno.ru, I've attached them here.

Thank you in advance for your help. Regards 

It also appears to have a crudely plugged hole with soft solder which adds to it's damage apart from hard cleaning, l would think it was on a chain or something similar although the coin would not hang the right way up based on the position of the hole. 

 

I have an example on zeno also but l would be unsure as to buy that coin myself due to it's damage unless the price was very low. Having a jeweler repair the hole properly would be the next step if you buy it.

Thank you so much, I hadn't noticed the hole, For a moment I even thought it was some detail from a die-cut. They are offering it to me for 12500 rupees. I've only seen two of these Tankas on eBay and the prices were 34,500 rupees and 24,000 rupees respectively. Is it okay to pay 12,500 rupees?

That's around £102 UK, I paid £75 + post for mine in 2020  which I thought was a good deal but 6 years later it would be more than £100+ now  for sure. you might not get a better option without paying a lot more.  I would mention the plugged hole to the dealer and try and get a lower price and as I mentioned earlier, if you buy it then get a jeweler to do a neat job on the hole.

Thank you so much for your help, friend. With the details you pointed out, I will try to negotiate with the seller.
