<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2509408, member: 68&quot;]I have a bag of 1977-C 5p aluminum coins that always listed for pennies apiece.&nbsp; There&#039;s nothing special about these coins and there&#039;s nothing even close to Gem.&nbsp; Most are poorly struck and unattractive.&nbsp; I saw a similar single coin on eBay go for $5!!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Right now I&#039;m thinking I should hang onto all the Gem India I can find and sell the other stuff into strenght.&nbsp; The Gems are really tough for most issues but I always picked them up when I saw them. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What I find so surprising is that I never considered most India to be very rare but some of the pricing suggests it must be scarce.&nbsp; The 1954 R for instance lists for $35 in XF.&nbsp; I know this coin is quite scarce in Unc and might be rare in Gem but it never occured to me it could be a $35 coin in XF.&nbsp; And what&#039;s going on with the large 2 A&#039;s?&nbsp; The cheapest chBU is $80. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think I have to be a seller at these levels for most of these coins. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By the same token though some of the pricing looks to be far too low.&nbsp; This applies to most of the rupees and Gems.&nbsp; I could never find rupees even with intensive effort and advertising.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
