Hi,
I suspect this is a
1 Tangka - Thubten Gyatso Type B , but I would like if someone could verify that for me. I would also appreciate a grading.
Thank you

Type B ok, but you might spend some more time on your coin to identify the year
Lets say, some hours ....

That's what I say, complete identification might take a while

You can refer the article "The Gaden Tangka of Tibet" by N. G. Rhodes which is available at
http://www.onsnumis.org/articles for details.
It puts type B coins in the period 1880-1894
