Drusus Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Before I start trying sellers on ebay or where ever I can find a seller with this coin, I thought I might try here...looking for: CEYLON 1957 SILVER 5 RUPEES, BU KM# 126 I found one for sale for more than it is worth on ebay, the other 2, I have never delt with the people, who knows...

Brett Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I may have to pick up one of those myself sometime next year. Very cool coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I believe that the one that you've pictured is a counterfeit...the numbers in 2500 do not look right, among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I have never seen this coin in hand so I have no frame of reference. It looks much like every other one I have seen...so maybe all the ones I have seen are fakes I have seen 3 other examples online, the one above is the example used on world coin gallery. I like the coin a lot, and wasnt quite sure if this coin would be faked commonly...but I am a bit timid to buy one because I dont WANT to buy a fake...Going just by book valuation its not a terribly rare or expensive coin so I didnt know if it would be faked...I see examples for sale between 25-60 USD Here is one off another page dedicated to the coin type: http://lakdiva.org/coins/commemorative/195...thi2500_5r.html maybe if you guys see one in your ramblings, let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Didn't you sell one example before Blackhawk? I had a graded proof that I sold to a forum member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Disregard this...I bought a very nice UNC example at the Houston Coin Show today...it was a tough one to find but I managed to find 2 dealers who had an example of the coin...got it for a good price as well...I think this is an undervalued coin. Its a hefty silver coin...only 500,000 minted and half that number was melted down so in truth there are probably less than 250,000. Its also just a real nice looking coin...but book price for it UNC is only 30.00 USD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
