Great work.

There's a guy on here who makes boxes for coins. Oh man. I've been looking for a box for these. Do you think maybe we could both plague him?

Yup, alun..i got a 40 coin box from him for my britannia collection, quite a few of us have got boxes from him...great quality and decent price.

Its been a while since I put any coins on here, that's because I have not found any good enough for sale that I wanted lately, then several came all at once, the first of them arrived today.
This is a British India 1 Rupee coin, dated 1942 and made of .500 silver.
This coin was the largest of the silver British Indian coins that was issued, its size and weight was just under that of a British 1/2 Crown of the same era.
The first 1 Rupee to feature George VI head appeared in 1938 and was only made for two years, 1938 & 1939, these coins were made from .917 silver and had a reeded edge, not many were minted, in 1940 the silver content went down to .500, and this type was made in huge numbers, then in 1942 a new feature was incorporated to prevent counterfeits, a security edge was added to the coins, this version was made until 1945 when silver was stopped being used in the coins.
1942 was the lowest mintage year by far and only one mint made them that year and there was no known variations which was unusual for these coins.
Production figures of the third type GRVI 1 Rupee are as follows

1942,  7,352,000      Bombay Mint
1943,  65,995,000   Bombay Mint
1944,  146,206,000 Bombay Mint
1944,  91,400,000   Lahore Mint
1945,  142,666,000  Bombay Mint
1945,  118,126,000    Lahore Mint
 

 

I wonder why modern bullion coins don't do something like this to make them harder to copy

I was going to keep this one private, but I've had a pretty rubbish day so thought i’d share what landed this morning and has given me some joy before it goes to the vault. A very special 2002 4 coin gold maundy set (2002 mintage), a beautifully soft Gillick proof head, look how good the 1p is 😍, its tiny at 0.8g (22ct) . Only showed the 4p and 1p so not to fill the thread 😄

All PF69UC. 

4p

1p 😍
