    Howdy All,

    Here I have another die crack that I found in my British India collection. This coin is a 1/4 Rupee (silver). I first noticed the crack on the reverse, when I looked on the obverse I saw another crack. The pics may be blurry, due to me using my 16x loupe.
    Is there anyone who specializes in British India coins, or know of one?

    Not a specialist in British India, but remember what was going on when these were struck. They had a lot more important issues to worry about that how pristine their coins appeared, so many coins around the world were struck on dies long after their useful production life during and immediately after WWII. A crack would not surprise me at all in this era. I have the same coins in my pile, but honestly have never looked at them that closely.
