Still have a few of the big 5 Kopek off-centers, but frankly, they are the most common of the errors of that country.

No idea, because I've been out of the buying-selling loop for a while.
Any one?

Would you say that examples of this error are somewhat common from that era? This is the third(yet most impressive) example I've seen in about a week.

Let's say that doublestrikes of the series are "scarce", certainly not rare.

I got my lcs to make an offer on this bad boy and I looked just now and it says best offer accepted. I hope it was my offer that was accepted and if so this will be the first coin in the set. (sellers images)  Feel free to call me Will.

What I find interesting about India errors is just how many are circulated. I bought maybe 1000 of them years ago and was able to cherry some good off-metals, etc.. Many of the Off Centers were circs.

@ Bill:
I have also seen quite a few Indian obverse brokages, especially of George V. They appear to be in good silver, and pass the comparative ring tone test.
What are the things to look out for, when picking out the spurious examples?

I've got a William IV (1835) rupee which seems to be an odd sort of error : it doesn't appear to have been quite seated in the collar correctly, so that the reeding is incomplete around part of the circumference, terminating in a kind of flange. I'm going to have to photograph it, because it's hard to describe.
