British India and India Portuguese Coins

Here's is a group of British India and India Portuguese Coins I just got from a dealer. I dont have much experience with Brit-India coins and zero with India Portuguese coins. So any opinions will be great. Im thinking of having them graded .

1881 India-Portuguese 1/8th rupee

    Very nice 1862 rupee - certainly worth getting certified, although it may have some faint residue on the surfaces (or it may just be the shot) - if so, perhaps an acetone rinse would be a good idea prior to submission. It's the more common A-bust of the 7 dot variety (dots are over the bottom blossom on reverse). That 1897 2 annas looks nice too, although I think it could use an acetone wash. If it comes out with full lustre, may also be worth slabbing. The Portuguese 1/2 rupia coins seem fairly scarce, but in the grade you could likely sell it raw. Finally, I don't think the 1/8 rupia coin would go for too much, at least not enough to make slabbing worth it.

    Yes I couldn't believe how many different versions of the 1862 Rupee there were.
