misleading photo

I took a chance and ordered two of these with a larger order. The two I recieved didn't have anything identifying it as advertised. They resemble plops of slag that hit the floor. I've ordered quite a bit of things from APMEX and this is my first disappointment. I can't in in good faith recommend these to anyone.

Disappointed

I took a chance after reading reviews. Definitely not what the pics look like. Mine is a bit smaller than a dime, but sadly has no discernable markings. It legitimately looks like like a drop of solder that was scraped off a floor and hammered into a flat disk.

Disappointing

I purchased a lot of eight and not a single one had a marking on it. The only thing that was accurate was that they were different sizes and shapes.

Don’t buy this

Looks like someone shot a lead bullet into a brick wall. Zero markings, nothing like the pictures. I returned the first one for a replacement, which is the same. Other items I ordered were as expected, this one stands out as very disappointing, nothing AT ALL like the pictures.

Complete Junk

I have seen plenty of these coins and have to say, these are in the worst condition I ever seen. I bought 4 of these and every single one is complete junk with 1 not even being mauryan!!! Complete waste of money.

Disappointed

Highly disappointed. I ordered a couple dozen and 3 might be in fine condition (nothing like the pictures).If you took the rest to a coin shop I don’t think they would know what they are.. I do not recommend

Karshapana silver coin

Very unusual coin from a forgotten time period. A must have in your collection.
