<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2358151, member: 68&quot;]I used to correspond with several Indian collectors back in the &#039;80&#039;s and &#039;90&#039;s.&nbsp; At that time there was virtually no infrastructure to support coin collecting. Even larger cities lacked coin shops!&nbsp; I did know one Indian dealer who used to come to US coin shows in the late-&#039;80&#039;s who may still be active.&nbsp; I regret now that I didn&#039;t buy him out since he had tons of sets and special coins. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>People don&#039;t appreciate just how dramatically the Indian market has changed.&nbsp; A 1963 mint set that listed at $4 and couldn&#039;t be given away a few years ago now lists for $4500 and is highly sought.&nbsp; I&#039;d assume there must be a few coin shops now. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think there is still a tremendous potential in some of the early coinage from the 1950&#039;s.&nbsp; You have to be careful here because some dates are in collections in the US but it&#039;s only some dates. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Prices have risen a lot and growing pains might come into play. There are some coins &quot;out in the wild&quot; and it could take several more years to separate the wheat from the chaffe.&nbsp; In the meantime I really like circulating coinage that is really choice BU and better date aluminum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
