I bought this off of ebay for cheap. It costed me 6.57 plus 4.75 for shipping. It shows a Die Crack on the south end, a Retained Interior Die Break, and a Cud.
Here's what Mike said when I emailed him about this coin. I originally thought it was a Split Die error, but it turns out it's even better than what I thought it was.

Hi Dave.

Beginning at its southern end, you have a die crack that meets a retained interior die break that, in turn, merges with a triangular Cud (or Retained Cud). So, you have three forms of brittle failure meeting end to end.

Yep very good. It is interesting to me how much circulation wear occurred before someone recognized the potential increased numismatic value. I suppose that speaks to differences in the US and Indian coin markets.

Thank you Spence. I agree. This was obviously in circulation for quite some time before being pulled out.
