interesting, actually I just noticed the "m" Mint Mark, it's so tiny and hard to spot.

This charming fellow was lurking, unappreciated, in the US before being sold to me at a very favourable price. Huge respect to @CadmiumGreen for his assistance in the procedure.

Just the 2010 coins now remaining to be found.

A quickie:

We did not have time to arrange it prettily, or use an SLR.

(Confession time, this was from yesterday)

@LawrenceChard The quality of the picture does NOT reduce the amount of "Salivation" 😉👌😍

I misread that first time as "Salvation" - Must get a coffee!

Grumpy Dave spending my Currency again, he chose well though Coinsters, Purchased from The Top TSF Seller Arshimo2012, My first Aussie gold coin Coinsters.

Well I have had loads of stuff come this past week, both to keep and to sell on, I will take pictures and put them on here when I get chance to look at them all.

First is a pair of WW2 dated British India 1/4 Rupees, made of .500 silver, these were a bargain buy in an auction where I was the only bidder, I saw they were in not bad condition and decided that even if they were not quite good enough to keep they were worth selling on at a profit.

The 1/4 Rupee came in a huge variety of variations, some very rare and worth a fortune, there was different mints denoted by an L for Lahore, a small diamond for Bombay and nothing for Calcutta mints, there was a small headed king, large headed king, short fleur delys on his crown and long ones, high relief portrait and shallow relief portrait, and finally differences in the bottom flower centre, thick edge, thin edge, long edge teeth, short edge teeth, reeded sides and security sides, just to name a few lol .
The 1940 below has short fleur delys on the crown, shallow relief portrait, thin edge, short edge teeth, and a reeded side, this coin was made by the Bombay mint and had a production of 28,947,000 for that year alone, though this was far less than Calcutta's which made 68,675,000 that year also.
In 1943 a security side/edge was put on the coins to help stop counterfeiting the coins were made a 1mm smaller in diameter with a thicker rim, this 1943 dated coin has high relief portait, short fleur delys, thick rim, long edge teeth, and a security side/edge, it also has the scarcer slightly different flower style at the bottom of the reverse of the coin, 
95,200,000 were made this year but all the variations are put into this total figure for Bombays production that year, the rarest of this year are the ones made at Lahore with 23,700,000 minted in 1943.

I sold both of these the next day.

More stuff to come when I get time.

 

Differences in the coin edge/sides

Golden Turtles have a Habit of Spending their owners Currency, therefore making you destitute rather quickly, be cautious if Purchasing a Golden Turtle like Grumpy Dave Coinster.
