timspong Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 2:11 pm I just got my old coin collection from my dads house after not really doing much with it since I was a kid in the 60's. I want to get back into the swing of coin collecting and am selling a few pieces on ebay. I think these coins came from my grandfather who served in India during the war, but I don't really know what they are. Can anyone help identify them? thanks Tim Report this Post to the Staff

timspong Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 10:28 pm Great stuff! thanks very much. Any idea what kind of year? I was thinking mid to late 19th century. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2887 Posts	Posted 08/08/2013 01:10 am The Bhopal quarter anna (if that's what it is - which I think so) is going to be AH1302-AH1306. The Kashmiri ones are VS1914-1919 (Or 1857-1862 AD) so you'd be spot on with mid 19th century. hope that helps My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff
