British India silver from the Victorian period did circulate widely, but far less so than copper coins, the general Indian population being quite poor, especially in this era of history.
The result, coinwise (there's a coined word for you!), is that silver turns up these days in much better condition than the copper, VF condition for silver being relatively common. However, uncirculated Indian silver of this period is still quite scarce.

trespasser: IT is a beautiful coin. You shouldn't worry about Krause, its world catalogs are ALWAYS wrong in the values for coins above the common grades available. For instance, in this case the common grade is VF-XF, above that, the price you paid is the aprox market value. Make a search in ebay, and you will find values around 180 dollars for UNC coins from sellers in Hong Kong and Sweden, that are NOT in graded holders. Also, make a search in coinarchives and you will find the other variety of this coin in graded holder for auction (PL-63) with estimated values of £150-180 and selling for £250. The excuse Krause makes is that there are so little transactions made of world coins, it is impossible to ascertain values. OK, but then they should declare what is the most common grade available and not include values for anything above this grade. Enjoy your coin, it is also a good investment. |

Very good point, Thank you very much for putting my mind at ease, I am pretty new to collecting and I really dont want to make bad choices. I really like the look of the british india rupees. but I dont know a lot about them. thanks again Guadalupe.

I agree, Krause is not very accurate when it comes to pricing high grade British India coins. This is one of my main focus areas and I can say that I have on numerous occasions paid in excess of $100 more than Krause for high grade coins. And there are people paying more, as I have been outbid at auctions many times.

that may be dear folks but never overpay on coins. bidding on ebay for british india coins or determining value thorough ebay can be very dangerous so buyer beware is all I will say and for modern india coins we have a nice selection on ccf for $2 each |

Most the Krause Prices for world coins are laughable. Always a safe bet on grade when it comes slabbed as this example, should at least hold its value if bought at $200. A very attractive piece
