Aiden so is trying to get things done when you are in a lot of bloody pain, mistakes happen so get off your high horse.

 

Steve,hang on there.I don't claim to be perfect.No-one is.I am typing with my left hand ,as the second finger on my right hand is very sore,as I have a painful scab about 2" below the finger nail.

Steve,the 1/12 Anna coin is also known as a 1 Pie coin.There are coins from some of the Indian Princely States that have the British monarch's portrait on the obverse.I have a 1912 1/4 Anna from Sailana.

Well thankfully it shoudnt take too long as I only need to ID 3 of them

1906 Calcutta
1907 Calcutta
1910 Calcutta
1912 Calcutta
1913 Calcutta
1918 Calcutta
1919 Calcutta
1920 Calcutta
1927 Calcutta or Bombay
1934 Calcutta
1935 Calcutta
1936 Calcutta or Bombay
1940 Calcutta or Bombay
1894 1/12 anna Calcutta

and none of the Calcutta have MM on them, I do think though that there are some veriations in the head and also on some of the decorations on the George V, if I remember right it has something to do with aelephant and a pig LOL

De Orc

 

Steve,the 'Pig' elephant is only on the silver coins dated 1911,not the copper coins.

Aidan.

 

Apparently and this is according to http://www.coins-of-india.co.uk/ it has also been on the 1911 1/4 anna so they are worth checking who knows I might find a previously unknown type LOL

De Orc

 

Steve,according to that website,the 1911 1/4 Anna is worth 150 Quid,even though the mintage is listed at around 55,000,000.I suspect that this is the original mintage figure,including those that were pulled & melted down.

Aidan.

 

Yes would have to agree with that assesment otherwise why so expensive Well just bought 1kilo of world coins to sort through lol so might find a few more bits that I want

De Orc
