Those are nice.What sort of Rupees are you referring to - Cingalese? Indian? Mauritian? Pakistani? Seychellois?

Aidan.

 

Aiden if you happen to click on the pics you will see that they are of the Indian variety also picked up some Australian 1/2d & 1d will try to get them scanned later today.

Steve,that is a nicer example of the Canadian 1902 Queen's Crown silver 5c. you have there.

Aidan.

 

A man afte rmy own heart. Wait till I get a mohur

 

Nice additions, Steve. 1888 is a very good date and I have met some collectors who just collect world coins dated 1888. On this coin it looks like there is a raised 'B' mintmark for Bombay mint on top flower.

Also, 1907 rupee looks like it was minted in Bombay mint. You should be able to see the incused 'B' mintmark in the crown.

Ballabh I realy must finish checking the mint marks LOL somtimes though get carried away on other things :whistle:

Steve,when you get a Canadian 1907 1c. coin,please check the coin,as the 1907H is quite scarce? In fact that is the last year Heaton's Mint ever struck coins for Canada or any of the British colonies in the Americas.

Aidan.

 

Yep know about that one :smile

Steve,have you got any coins from Newfoundland & any of the other Canadian provinces whose photos you can post?

I picked up a Nova Scotian 1864 1c. last Saturday.I discovered that I didn't have it,so I got it for a bargain price of NZ$3! I snapped it up faster that you could say the word 'Cent'.

Aidan.

 

A few from Newfoundland :smile

Ps just got my 1st Rhodesian coin as well :smile

 

Steve,is the Rhodesian coin from the 1964 coinage,the 1968 3d.,or the decimal coinage (1970-77)?

Some of them are becoming difficult to find now.

Aidan.

 

Decimal 1/2 cent I believe, will scan it tomorrow.

De Orc :kewl:

 

Steve,the Rhodesian 1977 1/2c. is excessively rare,as there are 10 pieces known.I was lucky to get its big brother,the 1977 1c. a few years back.

Rhodesian coins should be very popular in England,especially with the Anglo-Rhodesian community.

Aidan.

 

1970 unfortunatly LOL

Steve, while you are looking around for West African issues, this one would be a good addition if you don't already have it:

Nigeria - British West Africa
1908
1/10 penny

 

Brad,the coins of Nigeria-British West Africa are becoming increasingly difficult to find,especially the 1911 coinage.The 1906 1d. from Nigeria-British West Africa has always been listed as Rare & unpriced in Krause.

Aidan.

 

Fairly sure that I dont have that one, so will keep a eye open for it thanks for adding the pic :thumb:
