Great, then we will know both the "real" grade and the grade on the slab.
Sorry for your loss. Without images, about the best we can do is refer you to eBay sold prices so that you can see real world prices, coin price...
It's an easy set to accomplish if you just want to do a nice AUish set, but it gets substantially more difficult in finer grades. An AU set will...
PR-64
Agree with everyone so far, MS-66.
So tough to grade the Indian series with an image because of the incuse design, I call it XF-45.
Not to mention that the grades are completely different and not really an opinion at all. Either it has slight wear and is AU, or it hasn't seen...

Welcome to CT. I see a couple of spots that look like PVC residue. This can be easily cleaned with a pure acetone soak. As for authenticity, they...
It's a strange side of collecting to me, but there's a premium for MS-69 or better. You wouldn't want to destroy any condition premium, but...
Protecting them seems like a good idea, but a treasure bag of gold seems like a cool idea. If I had to do one or the other, I choose cool over a...
