echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/26/2010 6:23 pm There appears to be some corrison going on and the I in KING has some damage. I can't tell from the image if this the high or low relief bust. I'd grade it at EF-40. The 1940 Bombay mint in high relief KM#530 is valued at $1.50, and the low relief KM#531 is valued at $1.00.
