    All,

    I have posted a few pics from my collection. I came across the Sailana state coin when sorting through a collection of one quarter anna. Is the Sailana state coin worth something ?
    The coin that looks like a block was in my home cupboard, not sure of the details. Need help to identify it.

    Thanks in advance for the help. I will post some more interesting coins based on the responses.

    I can't imagine a coin with a mintage of 200K only being worth a couple of bucks.

    Supply and demand... not much collector interest equals lower price.

    Very true, I guess I was curious as to where that figure was coming from. Maybe I have the wrong coin.
