Key Info

Condemnation

Denomination : Tanga

"I once got an E-mail inquiry about a Portuguese Tanga shown on right with a clear XF date indicated by "x63x". The same coin was listed (#77) in the 1914 Catalogue of Coins of the Colombo Museum with the date of that coins described as x63x using x to indicate an illegible digit. Since the coin refered to is also illustrated there is no ambiguity that the real coin does not have x63x. Catalog #78 is described as xx4x but that is not illustrated. I am told that coins with x63x and xx4x have sold in leading Auctions, which just indicates to me that some who should be experts are sometimes misled even by stupid reproductions."
