Message:: [QUOTE="spiraltreet, post: 288933, member: 3476"]Hello guys...  atlast, I got one error Tilakji coin for Rs.4000/- (nearly $100) from a dealer.  I was lucky enough to get this one cheaply.  There was a mistake in my previous post about this coin.  Infact, the Prime Minister of India released the coins in Delhi and the mistake was found out there itself and corrective measures were taken immediately.  So, the coins distributed to the Tilak family after that  were not error coins. That means, the mintage of this coin is lower than we assumed. Normally, a small quantity of coins will be distributed to the public on the date of issue. It will be anything from 500 to 10000.  And thats it. It happened once in 1992. The 2 Rs coin commemorating "Land Vital Resources" was released on the date of issue. Only 500 were issued and no more of these coins came to light again!! The market price of a single "Land Vital Resource" coin is around Rs.75000/- (around $1800) now. So, I think this error "Tilakji" coin will also become a hot commodity in future.[/QUOTE]
