Yes a very informative thread indeed, never scrolled back far enough to see this one.
I do collect British India and Republic coins as well. I do have some doubles of many of the more common ones, if anybody wants to trade.
Mohur thats a big ticket item, I'd be very careful, to avoid bringing home a fake one.

I have a 1862 gold mohur that I bought from a fine art auctioneer last year and a rarer ef gold 15 rupee I purchased recently from a local auction house. Now the double mohur would possibly be out of reach  Thanks for the welcome.

I wish I had stumbled upon this thread sooner. Just through some casual purchases, impulse buys really, I have: - East India Company 1835 Rupee - 1840(b) 1/4 Rupee - 1840 Rupee - 1900 Rupee - Hyderbad 1943 Rupee Also (not silver): - 1946 1/2 Rupee (with the panther) in unc. - 1947 1 Rupee (with the panther) in XF and: India Portugese-colony 1947 1/4 Rupia will try to do some pics. This has awakened my interest for the coin show this weekend.

I collect Indian coins in the asme way as Sap. Indian coinage since it began is a huge area of study, and very absorbing. I have some references, but I need more.
I have just reviewed this thread in a bit more detail. A couple of hours ago, I spotted a 1947 tiger rupee (pure nickel) in a dealer's scratch box. I passed it up because I already have a better one. Pity! I now see the error of my ways.

Is there a good place to find values on coins? My wife had a big bag of coins she had found/collected over the years, several are early 40s coppers and I'm curious of value.
