    Fun trivia! I just did add a GeoV to my collection, as it happens, but it’s a Canadian large cent.

    I actually started collecting these coins because of you & your Victoria collection, @lordmarcovan. I really liked the copper of Great Britain but kept getting blown out on the nice pieces. I stumbled across a British India coin and took the train to value town.

    I admit their mintmark “system” of dots hidden everywhere makes me a little nuts.

    Awesome! I agree about their “secret” mintmarks. They make my brain hurt.

    This coin is a much earlier British East India copper. It appears to be KM 446.2 1835.

    Well, I am stunned. I have been pondering the date for quite some time.
    I was well out of the ballpark. Feel some research coming on, thank you
