<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spiraltreet, post: 199053, member: 3476&quot;]Ian, there are so many Indian coppers which are not listed on Krause..&nbsp; A slight variation in the script can change the words in those coins.. So, keep your eyes open while collecting those coins.. Also, try to learn the Persian script (evenif you learn, it wont be easy to read what is in the coins.. but it will definitely help). Its almost impossible to find excellent pieces of these coppers unlike the silver coins. For example, the major source of Travancore dump coins is a river which flows through the extreme south of India. The sand on the river bed is home to thousands of these coins. Usually, the sand quarry workers find these coins and sell these to local dealers. So, all of them will be worn out and very rarely a coin escapes the forces of nature. Silver coins on the other hand were hoarded by people in the past and thats why these coins are seen in excellent condition even now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
