It is a shame that quality is not better. My best Indian coins are British colonial restrike issues: the 8 anna 1920B, 1/2 anna varied dates...
So, is India noted for having many doubled die coins--to the point of there really being no or minimal quality control? IMHO, most US doubled die...

So, are Indian doubled die coins common? What sort of price premium do they carry over the comparable condition coins without doubled dies.
Steve, Anyway, I'd like the brick ends with all the 4,000 bills in between. LOL
SteveInTampa, Understood. That is some of the attraction of collecting, whether coins, stamps or matchbook covers. Not everyone has the same...

Thanks for posting that. I suspect it was to aid in the discussion of jlogans' coin.
There is no mint mark in the same way as US coins (D, S, CC etc.). Rather, like most of the period in which US coins were stuck - and...
Looking forward to it. You might like to provide photos as well. My suspicion is a value just over silver content.
NGC has a site which gives values for world coins. As you didn't indicate the mint, you might like to look over the data on the linked page:...
Apart from any collector value, an unworn one Rupee coin of 1920 (.917 fine silver) would have just over .34 ounce of silver content, or a bit...
I have ordered a number of the intercept shield holders and will try them out.
