From that collection of crowns I've been going through for the last month.

Four of the highlights:

1840 East India (B&C) Rupee (MS62)





1862 (C) Rupee (MS65):





1903 Rajasthani Jaipur rupee (MS61):





1936 Tibet 3 Srang (MS64):





Love the fields on the '62:

Indeed. I think that may just be the most pristine Victoria rupee I've seen.

Thank you, Gentlemen!

I knew this collector had a good eye. But when I pulled this 2x2 up out of the long narrow flip box my eyes bugged out. At first I thought it was a Gothic piece, but that was pretty far out of the scope of this collection.

My second thought was "No way". You just don't see pieces that clean. Love the detail on her tunic.

Agreed! Legend says, that the British troops in Cyprus were first paid with 1862 Indian rupees. Clearly, this superb example wasn't among them.

There are many pictures online of Calcutta in the 1860s--including the aftermath of a huge cyclone which struck. It's amazing that a piece with devices and surfaces as fragile as this could survive in that environment, let alone the 8,000 mile journey from there to here in the middle of the United States.

Now the only problem is how do I price it?

$5, then sell it to me.

Wow lovely coins and all in superb condition.

Three final pieces from this submission. Two were from my own personal "Box of 20" that hadn't been graded yet. The white pecks on the Icelandic piece are dust--it's so dark I couldn't get a good shot no matter how many times I blew it off or dusted it. It graded MS63 (I think it's at least a 64, but what can you do?):




And the aforementioned German 10 Euro piece with the Bauhaus emblem:




And the last piece from that collection of crowns. 1956 Egyptian 50 Piastre. It's an historically important piece representing Egypt's "victory" at Suez and the end of British global domination by some accounts. But the design is really beautiful, too. Unfortunately it's a 62 with the typical contact marks for the grade. But it's a lusterbomb:
