Speaking of Seychelles, I'm kicking myself because I pulled out a 1939 silver 1 rupee and the dealer quoted a price of $4 and I thought it was too...
I didn't have time to take pics of both sides, but the other one is a 1938 1 filler. I didn't have a chance yet to look any of those up to see if...
Separately I got these three beauties. I can't get a good enough picture of the sixpence to show that it looks like it was from the mint. The...

I do have a nice example without spots, but I'm asking because I see coins like this from time to time and I'm curious what other collectors...
One more I need ID help with. [ATTACH]
