  • Features to Identify a Circulation Strike Coin:

    Circulation strike coins are produced in large numbers for everyday use. Their production process prioritizes efficiency over high-quality finish. Here are features to look for to identify this Five Rupees coin as a circulation strike:  

  • Surface Condition: Circulation strike coins are intended for use in transactions. Therefore, a circulated coin will likely show signs of wear and tear, such as:

    • Scratches: From being handled and rubbing against other coins.
    • Nicks and Dents: From impacts during circulation.
    • Reduced Luster: The original shine of the mint might be dulled due to handling and environmental exposure.
  • Edge Condition: The security edge might show minor wear or nicks from circulation.

  • Strike Quality: Circulation strikes are typically struck once at a high speed. This can result in:

    • Slightly Softer Details: The finer details of the design might not be as sharp or well-defined as on proof or specimen strikes, which are struck multiple times.
    • Unevenness of Strike: Sometimes, the pressure during striking might not be perfectly uniform, leading to slightly weaker details in certain areas. However, for modern commemorative coins, the strike is usually quite good.
  • Luster: While uncirculated circulation strikes will have a mint luster, it is generally a more uniform and less brilliant luster compared to the mirror-like finish seen on proof coins. As the coin circulates, this luster will diminish and become duller.

  • Absence of Special Finishes: Circulation strike coins do not have the special finishes seen on proof coins, such as frosted designs with mirrored fields. The surfaces will generally have a consistent metallic sheen (when uncirculated) or a worn, duller appearance (when circulated).

  • In Summary:

    The Five Rupees 150 Year of First War of Independence Copper-Nickel coin was issued as a circulation strike. To identify if a specific coin is a circulation strike, examine its surface for signs of wear, the quality of the strike for sharpness of details, the type of luster (non-mirrored), and the overall condition which reflects its use in everyday transactions. An uncirculated example will still possess its original mint luster but will lack the special finishes of proo
