<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 8420163, member: 102103&quot;]Lovely collection, thanks for sharing!&nbsp; Unfortunately, it was not a bloodless conflict, with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Goa#Commencement_of_hostilities" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Goa#Commencement_of_hostilities" rel="nofollow">about 50 killed combined for the two sides</a>.&nbsp; Still, compared to the tragedies during the Partition, I guess it was pretty small-scale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, not to bog things down with my opinions on war and peace, here&#039;s another recent fractional purchase:&nbsp; Muscat and Oman <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces28241.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces28241.html" rel="nofollow">1/4 Anna</a> 1315 AH = 1898.</p><p>Under $3 and not in such bad condition.&nbsp; This is why I love buying coins in person.&nbsp; Buy something like this online and I wind up paying more in shipping than the coin is worth.&nbsp; And there are so many lovely words coins from the 1800s for under $5.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1493377[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
