    I couldn't help but wonder why this coin is so valuable. Then I remembered World War 2. Seems most never so circulation and were melted for their Silver for the war effort. They are extremely rare and valued.

    yes thats true, i read something about that in a super old post, dated back from like 2005 or somethin, for the war effort they were melting down the silver coinage...this coin has a dot under georges head and a dot under the lowest flower on the backside, that makes it a bombay coin correct?
