stunning.

 

oooh, pretty.

 

A lovely coin and a great design

 

Elegant.

 

All of the above

 

Beautiful !!

Thank you very much. I was trying to find out , what would be the cost of these coins if they were in the market today ?

 

very nice coin

 

depends on the type and the grade for the one shown above in ms63+ easily $1500+
in fine you can possibly even get it for 500

 

Thanks if I am lucky, I might get it a bit cheaper here in India.

Someone has offered me a Samudragupta coin for indian equivalent of 450$ while it is listed at 600 on ebay.

 

just make sure the coin isnt cleaned or fake

 

I am relatively new to coin collecting, but I just found out that one good place to get authentic Indian coins is an auction house called www.todyauction.com

Take a look at one of their old auctions at http://www.todyauction.com/cat18e.htm#eic

Lot no. 133 and 134 ;

133 Victoria Queen, Gold, Mohur, 1841, Divided Legend type, ww incused. Extremely Fine+, Rare.

Estimate: Rs. 30,000-35,000

134 Victoria Queen, 10 Rupees, Pattern, 1854. Mint State, Extremely Rare.

Estimate: Rs. 90,000-1,00,000

1,00,000 = 2500 dollars

They are having an auction next Sunday and I am planning to attend.

The coin which I am talking about is here at the bottom (coin no 13) http://www.todyauction.com/cat21a.htm#anci

 

yup his stuff is genuine but you can get better samples on ebay

 

He is also asking for more money than ebayers !!

 

do you guys think that this mohur may be cleaned?

 

It's so hard to tell from photos. Can you provide some close-up shots ... that will surely help !

 

my pictures are dependent on othe rpeople's cameras so i dont have any close up shots

 

Woah ! That is good !
