<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bgarg, post: 197604, member: 1876&quot;]For republic Indian issues, I think all denominations dated 1950 are tough to get. Also 1962 and 1970 dated coins are scarcer then other dates. All these coins before 1970 were&nbsp; slightly bigger and thicker then later issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recall that in late 80&#039;s, money exchangers in small Indian towns were purchasing these pre 1970 rupee coins at double face value and then selling those to smelters for small profit. This caused a total absence of these pre 1970 rupees from circulation and hence a higher catalog price in Krause.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I don&#039;t think that Krause had revised the prices in this section in last several years. So, you can still pick nice uncirculated coins for couple of bucks from dealers who care to carry these post-independence Indian coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards</p><p>Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
