zxcccxz- Thanks for the help! Would you be able to post a pic of the coin you sold on ebay (or even give a link to the auction), so that I can see the difference?
But, with 1862 Rupees the single dot above the bottom of the wreath/ beneath the date was not indicative of mint mark. Yes, the dot meant Bombay on later issues (not dated 1862), but I'm fairly certain that the dots indicated the year of production ( each dot indicating a year after 1862- so one dot equally 1863 & four dots equaled 1866).
