This is more like private bullion. Often gifts in India are given as silver coins, and most jewelry shops offer these with images of a God on...
Lovely coin! Do you know they story behind these? They used to be listed with a standard KM number and then were re-assigned a KM X number (M2).
This coin in 63 was about $1500 two years ago. Yours looks like atleast a 65. I’m surprised at the super high pricing, generally only the Indian...
That rupee is in wonderful condition! It’s got some nice die cracks in it too. It does look like AH 1207 written on it though. I always wonder...
NGC did write it :) It’s from one of their press releases.
A lovely set!! I’d say you are pushing it a bit if the Dominic Rep coin would be called toned - but the 1 Ultime France toning is brilliant!
So James, what make you think it is authentic? I would verify by using coin websites to search for similar coins and comparing the design. You’ll...
I love the Bundi coins since they tended to make spelling mistakes on them. I think yours has one too - it looks like they have written Epmeror
Nice coins! I think the Allaudin Khilji coin would be called a Tanka since the rupee didn’t come along later until the 1500s.
Platinum seemed to be a great metal to mint coins in - it was rare (but not excessively so), supply was controlled and it was insanely...
Nice coins to start a set! I collect rupees too... and I stay away from the 1/2 rupees since that is a whole another beast! All the best!
This is a very cool coin! And very odd too... the doubling is all Over the place including the floral pattern. But it’s also somewhat...
Nice to see this all out together! I Still have the 2006 (which I bought in 2008) with the case - I don’t have any COA. Never thought about that...
In the few series I collect, when the coins are a common date “inexpensive” coins, there is now pretty much no premium for slabs at the Low MS...
I can’t find this posted before, but coming across the standard circulation 1,2,5,10 centime coins from Belgium from the mid-19th century which...
As mentioned before, India has not issued complete coinage proof sets for around 40 years now. There are commemorative proof sets (I think 7) for...
I’m not an expert in the 1/4 Annas. But pretty much all British India proofs had much squarer edges than your coin. The key points to look for are...
I’ll go 64BN
I went though something like this a few years ago. I did have time on my hands (2 years). I didn’t have any dealers nearby, let alone a trusted...
I know it’s not an exact parallel. But one way of looking at it is that a British pound today has roughly $400 of gold in it - so 1/960th of a...
