<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mithril, post: 8227334, member: 51330&quot;]Hi - there are some great examples of Indian coins in this thread. It&#039;s an area I enjoy collecting a lot. I always enjoyed the challenge of identifying coins with &quot;squiggly&quot; writing on them - especially long before the internet which is kinda cheating... </p><p><br /></p><p>I have noticed prices going up quite significantly in the past 10 years - particularly, but unsurprisingly, for quality material. Though not really Indian, Ga-den tanka&#039;s have increased 10 fold. I used to get them for £3 each - now they are pushing £30... But even basic 19th Century coppers are going for quite the price nowadays.&nbsp; I saw an uncirculated Travancore,Rama Varma VI&nbsp; 1/2 Chuckram go for over £1k recently which was astounding.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve a modest collection built up - but probably too many to post here. If anyone is interested I have my collection on my own site that I designed myself to be how I like it (HTML1 but should still work on all platforms). </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m an active contributor to ZENO so most of my coins are on there as reference coins anyway - but I like to be able to view them in a certain way. However something that might be of use is my Mughal mint identifier. Most places require a lot of clicking and searching but I&#039;ve tried to bring them all together in one place so it&#039;s easier to just scan down the list - well - it works for me.
