<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jay4202472000, post: 1854842, member: 42573&quot;]When I first read the question, did some research, and read heuvy31&#039;s answer, I thought that was obviously the correct answer.&nbsp; After thinking about the &quot;curveball&quot; comment, I think it may be something else.&nbsp; Instead of jumping the gun and buying a &quot;mistake coin&quot;, I think you knew exactly what you were buying.&nbsp; You bought this coin BECAUSE it was the type 4 reverse, minted at Bombay (dot mintmark), with the type A obverse.&nbsp; Reason being either you didn&#039;t own this combination of obverse, reverse, and mintmark, and needed it to add to a variety set, or this combination is rarer than others.&nbsp; Considering&nbsp; that the type 4 reverse is only known on Victoria Rupees from 1879-1882, this is also a possibility.&nbsp; NGC &amp; Numismaster. com don&#039;t even list values for the 1880-B type 4 reverse.&nbsp; We learn from this that knowledge is the key in numismatics.&nbsp; As long as you know what you are buying, cherrypicking can be a fun and exciting aspect of numismatics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
