    I thought that these two 2 Anna coins would get your attention but maybe my photos don't do the coins justice. The coins are bright & the luster appears to flash at you when you have them in hand. Under close examination you can see why they appear so flashy. [They have hundreds of die polish lines in the fields].

    Actually it did, now :)
    Love the detail on Victoria's hair for this type of coin and your second coin is really exceptionally lustrous too.

    yup if you are looking to ever get rid of them let me know only the top one though and your 1840 rupee isnt too shabby either

    This is a coin I don't own but it is very interesting to me because it was minted at a city I am from. It is on the list of top 100 largest cities in India but still never a part of numismatic history of India. Since this is the only known specimen from the city where the mint was operational only for a few years, it intrigues me a lot.

    Here's more detailed history about the coin from an auction it was featured in

    well indian coin history is very rich what kills it is the lack of documentation and illiteracy
