I bid about $3 each on these two auctions for a 1877 and 1878 1/12 anna. The book value is between 50 cents for F and $6 for Unc. I don't see any...

I saw this interesting story about Indian silver rupees that were recovered from a World War II shipwreck. I'm sure they wouldn't have been in...
Thanks for the resources. I'll check them out.
Thank you both!
